2020 Mercedes-Benz B 1.3L Petrol · LS20 KFT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs regarding consumable components. The most recent test in February 2026 at 45,986 miles passed but introduced advisories for damage and cracking on both nearside and offside rear tyres. This follows a warning in early 2025 regarding thin brake pads on all four wheels, indicating that the vehicle is now entering intervals where significant wear requires attention. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between the June 2023 test at 21,029 miles and the February 2024 test at 28,656 miles, where the vehicle covered over 7,600 miles in eight months. This steady usage suggests regular operation, though the 2023 failure highlights a period of neglected maintenance regarding minor exterior items like smeared wiper blades and illegible registration plates. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system in person, as the 2025 advisory suggests both front and rear pads were nearing the end of their service life. Given the recent cracking on the rear tyres, a physical check of the rubber condition is necessary to ensure age-related perishation despite the relatively low mileage. The inspector should also verify the suspension components for signs of wear, as the record shows no recorded structural corrosion or mechanical failures to date.
