2020 Mercedes-Benz B 1.3L Petrol · ML20 AEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive service pattern. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 32,638 miles passed, it carried multiple critical advisories regarding tyre condition. The trend shows that the owner typically addresses faults only when they approach failure or legal limits, as evidenced by the failure in February 2025 where several mechanical and lighting issues required immediate attention. At 32,638 miles, this six-year-old Mercedes-Benz B-Class has significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,440 miles per year. This low usage explains the premature wear of certain components, such as the lipped brake discs noted in 2023 and 2025. However, the low mileage also correlates with age-related issues. The presence of perishing and cracking on the offside front tyre in the 2026 test suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which can lead to rubber degradation and surface corrosion despite low overall travel. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The record consistently flags thin brake pads and scored or pitted discs across multiple years, indicating that components are being run until exhaustion. Furthermore, the recurring advisories for uneven tyre wear and edge wear in 2024, 2025, and 2026 suggest potential issues with suspension bushes or incorrect wheel alignment. The headlamp levelling system should be verified for functionality, as this was a point of failure in early 2025.
