2016 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.5L Diesel · LL65 AEG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its three most recent MOT examinations without defects. The latest test on 24 January 2026 at 152,479 miles recorded no failures, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. While the history shows a failure in January 2023, the subsequent years of clean passes suggest that any identified issues were addressed and the mechanical condition has remained consistent thereafter. The mileage profile reflects high usage for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 15,200 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 12,632 miles, followed by an additional 13,772 miles in the year leading to the 2026 test. This consistent accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly for long-distance driving, which often results in fewer moisture-related issues compared to short-mileage cars but accelerates the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components subject to high-mileage wear and tear. Given the high mileage, the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs should be checked for signs of play or fatigue. The braking system requires a close look for binding calipers or thin discs, as the high annual mileage places significant stress on these consumables. Although the MOT record is clean, the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for corrosion, particularly around the mounting points, to ensure the high usage rate has not accelerated degradation over time.
