2005 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.0L Diesel · LG55 AAU

This vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 9 April 2026 at 133,400 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its tests on 1 April 2026 and 22 April 2025, the records show these failures were rectified almost immediately, with passes achieved within eight days and one day respectively. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 6,352 miles per year. Between 3 May 2024 and 9 April 2026, the odometer rose from 120,894 to 133,400 miles. This indicates a steady usage pattern of approximately 6,250 miles per annum over the last two years, suggesting the car has not suffered from long periods of standing which can often lead to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The MOT history is unusually clean for a twenty-one-year-old vehicle. There are no recorded advisories for corrosion, suspension bushes, or brake wear across the last three years of testing. Such a lack of documented defects is rare for a Mercedes-Benz B-Class of this vintage, where structural rust and coil spring failure are common. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension mounting points to ensure no corrosion has been overlooked. Given the absence of any flagged brake or tyre issues in the DVSA data, the focus should shift to service history records to verify that oil changes and transmission fluid flushes have occurred, as the MOT record does not track internal engine health or drivetrain wear.
