2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.8L Diesel · LP14 DVH

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 74,194 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Mileage accumulation has been moderate and consistent for a vehicle of this age. The record shows 41,282 miles in June 2021, rising to 49,823 by July 2022, 60,740 by July 2023, 68,336 by July 2024, and 74,194 by June 2025. This equates to roughly 6,000 to 9,000 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant periods. The DVSA data contains no advisories or flagged faults across any entry, indicating the previous keeper addressed wear before it reached test-threshold condition. A clean MOT history does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. At twelve years old and 74,194 miles, suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness warrant hands-on checks for incipient fatigue not yet visible to the tester. Drivetrain mounts and subframe corrosion should be examined beneath the car. Given the absence of recorded defects, the evidence implies disciplined upkeep rather than deferred maintenance. The buyer should still commission an independent pre-purchase inspection to confirm underlying mechanical condition beyond the scope of the annual test.
