2013 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.8L Diesel · LR63 YGF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on August 15, 2025 at 92,539 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair rather than proactive upkeep. The failure just three days prior to that pass at 92,522 miles revealed multiple faults including an oil leak, an SRS warning lamp, and suspension wear. While these issues were addressed to secure the pass, the cluster of defects suggests the owner only addressed mechanical faults when necessitated by an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage of 7,165 miles between January 2025 and August 2025, which correlates with the rapid deterioration of the anti-roll bar linkage and the legal-limit tyre wear. The low overall mileage for the age is typical, but the recent burst of activity in 2025 likely accelerated the wear on rubber components and oil-related seals seen in the latest records. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension specifically, as the anti-roll bar linkage dust covers failed twice in late 2024 and early 2025, indicating recurring wear. The inner edge wear on the nearside rear noted in 2023 suggests a persistent alignment issue or a worn trailing arm that should be verified. Furthermore, the oil leak flagged in August 2025 must be monitored to ensure it was properly rectified rather than merely masked, and the SRS warning lamp must be checked to ensure the airbag system is fully functional after its previous fault.
