2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.8L Diesel · ML62 AEJ

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 23 September 2025 at 20,193 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 1,442 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady, low-volume increase over the last five years, moving from 16,625 miles in September 2021 to 20,193 miles in September 2025. This linear progression suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of total stagnation, which typically results in more erratic mileage jumps. Despite the flawless MOT history, the low usage pattern introduces specific risks that the DVSA tests may not fully capture. A buyer should personally inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as components can seize when not exercised frequently. Rubber components, including suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, should be examined for perishing or age-related cracking regardless of the low tread wear. The lack of any recorded advisories over five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. While this suggests a well-cared-for example, a physical inspection should verify that the oil has been changed at regular intervals rather than just by mileage. Checking for fluid degradation and battery health is essential, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from electrical drain and lubricant breakdown.
