2013 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.8L Diesel · LS13 YAO

The vehicle presents in a stable roadworthiness condition, following a consistent maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 April 2026 at 52,173 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates that the primary mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and that the vehicle has maintained a clean record over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is characteristically low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the car covered only 1,072 miles, suggesting very infrequent use or long periods of stationary. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and braking system, the long intervals between uses can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or internal corrosion in fluids, which is not always captured by a standard MOT test. The history shows a specific failure on 24 March 2023 at 49,445 miles, where the tester flagged both the corroded offside and fractured nearside rear coil springs. While these were clearly rectified as evidenced by the subsequent clean tests, a buyer should still inspect the suspension assembly for signs of accelerated corrosion or perished bushings. Given the low annual mileage and age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the brake discs for pitting and checking that the calipers have not seized due to lack of use is advisable.
