2016 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 2.1L Diesel · LR16 KHT

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 25 March 2026 at 47,226 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance trend following a single failure in early 2023. The car has since cleared three consecutive annual inspections without any advisories, suggesting that previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and structural requirements to maintain testing standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. Data shows consistent usage over the years, moving from 38,656 miles in March 2024 to 47,226 miles in March 2026, an increase of roughly 4,300 miles. This low mileage typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though such infrequent use can sometimes lead to the premature degradation of rubber-based parts or brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Despite the clean record in the recent years, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on issues common with low-mileage cars. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can prevent the pads from cleaning them. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or dry rot, as these materials age over time regardless of the distance driven. Given the failure in March 2023 at 34,013 miles, verify that the specific fault which caused that failure was permanently rectified and does not resurface under load.
