Our Verdict
A low-mileage example that warrants seri
Focus your attention on the maintenance of consumables. The MOT history indicates a frequent need for replacement tyres and brake discs, which suggests that while the vehicle is driven infrequently, maintenance may have been reactive rather than proactive. Ask for evidence of when the brake discs and tyres were last replaced to ensure the 2025 'clean' pass is reflected in the car's current condition.
Negotiate based on the service history. Because this 1.5L petrol engine is a low-mileage unit, you should verify that oil changes have occurred at regular intervals regardless of the low distance covered. Check if the recent brake and tyre work mentioned in previous MOTs was carried out by a professional garage and if receipts are available.
The 1498cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it suitable for many drivers. Fuel economy for this model is typically average for a compact MPV of this era.
Maintenance costs should be budgeted for periodic replacement of tyres and braking components, as the MOT history shows these are recurring items for this specific vehicle. Expect typical maintenance costs for a Mercedes-Benz of this age, with an estimated annual running cost of £900-£1,200 including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing.
Pay close attention to the braking system. The MOT records from 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 all highlight issues with brake discs being worn, pitted, or scored. Even though the 2025 test passed with no defects, you should visually inspect the discs for any signs of surface corrosion or uneven wear.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly. The history shows repeated advisories for tyres being worn close to the legal limit or showing signs of cracking and perishing (notably in 2021 and 2022). Given the low mileage, tyres may be ageing due to time rather than tread wear, so check the manufacture dates on the sidewalls. Additionally, be aware that aggregate data for this model identifies shock absorbers and drive shaft joints as common failure points, so listen for knocks or unusual noises during a test drive.
This 2009 Mercedes-Benz B-Class petrol model has covered significantly less than the average mileage for its age. The MOT history shows a pattern of advisories related to tyres and brake discs between 2021 and 2024, but the 2025 test recorded no defects. Given the low mileage of 30,692, the vehicle presents as a lower-use example of this model.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.2% MOT pass rate, with common mechanical concerns involving shock absorbers and drive shaft joints.
