Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for buyers se
When inspecting this specific 1.6L petrol B-Class, focus on the service history to confirm oil change intervals, as the MOT data alone does not confirm mechanical maintenance. Given the 2022 failure regarding the offside front windscreen wiper, ensure that all wiper blades and the motor function smoothly without streaking.
Check the condition of the tyres and suspension components, as these are common failure points for the B-Class model aggregate. While this specific vehicle has had no recent issues in these areas, it is prudent to look for uneven tread wear or any signs of play in the steering, which could indicate upcoming maintenance needs.
The 1595cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for family use. Fuel economy for this model typically offers a balance between performance and efficiency, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles tend to be higher than mainstream brands, so budget for specialist parts if required. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are expected to fall in the middle range for a premium compact MPV.
Based on the MOT history, the only recorded defect was a windscreen wiper issue in 2022; ensure the wiper mechanism is fully operational and the glass is free of chips. Although no recent failures were noted, the model aggregate data suggests you should pay close attention to the tyres, coil springs, and drive shaft joints during your test drive.
Check for any signs of fluid leaks under the engine bay and inspect the brake pads and discs, as these are standard wear items that will eventually require attention regardless of the clean MOT history.
This 2018 Mercedes-Benz B-Class (MJ18PCF) has a consistent MOT record spanning from 2022 to 2025. The vehicle has covered 55,395 miles, which is relatively moderate for an eight-year-old petrol model. Aside from a single wiper-related failure in 2022, the most recent three MOT tests have been passed with no defects recorded.
The B-Class shows an average MOT pass rate of 80.2% across the aggregate data, with common failures relating to tyres, springs, and drive shafts.
