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

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 12 March 2026 at 113,878 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2023, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that remains in good mechanical health for its age. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a 14 year old car. Between 23 February 2023 and 12 March 2026, the odometer rose from 88,079 to 113,878 miles. This indicates an average annual usage of approximately 8,500 miles over the last three years. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration of the seals and gaskets. The record shows a single failure on 23 February 2023, though the vehicle passed on the same day. The lack of any recorded advisories across four consecutive years is rare for a car of this vintage. It implies the previous owner addressed wear and tear items, such as brake discs, pads, and suspension bushes, before they became MOT failures. A physical inspection should still focus on age-related degradation not always captured by a standard MOT. Check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points. Given the mileage, a technician should verify the condition of the automatic gearbox fluid and the timing chain, as these are critical long-term maintenance items for this Mercedes-Benz engine that do not appear on a roadworthiness certificate.
