2013 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.5L Diesel · MW13 KHR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 105,596 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior. The failure required attention to defective wiper blades, a registration plate lamp, and two front tyres that had reached or exceeded the legal tread limit. This pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical defects when they cause an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance between annual inspections. At 105,596 miles, this 13-year-old B-Class averages approximately 8,123 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows consistent mileage progression, with roughly 3,350 miles driven between February 2024 and February 2025, and another 3,395 miles covered between February 2025 and January 2026. This steady usage indicates the vehicle is not sitting stationary for long periods, which is generally beneficial for rubber components and seals, despite the overall age. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the 2024 test flagged thinning nearside brake pads at 98,851 miles. Given the history of front tyres also failing on the outer edges in 2026, there is a potential for alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that are causing uneven tyre wear. You must also verify the wiper assembly and all lighting bulbs, as these have been recurring points of failure across multiple tests. While no structural corrosion or major mechanical failures are noted in this record, the recurring consumable-related items highlight a lack of meticulous upkeep.
