2015 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.5L Diesel · PJ15 WRO

A consistent pattern of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle's inspection history, with the most recent test on 31 July 2026 resulting in a pass despite a minor defect regarding a defective front windscreen wiper blade. The records spanning from 2022 to 2026 show a stable trend, characterized by a lack of major mechanical failures or structural corrosion issues. Aside from a single instance in August 2024 where a nearside rear registration plate lamp was recorded as inoperative, the vehicle has consistently met the minimum standards for roadworthiness without any recorded failures of critical safety components such as braking systems, steering, or suspension. The recorded mileage of 55,098 miles against an 11-year age profile indicates a low annual accumulation rate of approximately 5,009 miles per year. This usage pattern is significantly lower than the UK average, which typically suggests less wear on high-friction components such as brake discs, pads, and tyres, as well as less frequent stress on the drivetrain and suspension bushings. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes correlate with longer periods of vehicle inactivity, which may affect rubber components or fluid degradation, though the MOT history does not show any significant gaps in testing that would suggest long-term storage or abandonment. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the minor electrical and visibility items noted in the recent history. While the windscreen wiper blade was flagged as defective in the July 2026 test, this is a superficial issue, but it is worth ensuring the wiper motor operates smoothly and the screen is cleared effectively without streaking. The previous registration plate lamp defect in 2024 should be verified as rectified to ensure full compliance with lighting regulations. Given the low mileage, it is advisable to check for any signs of perished rubber seals or perished hoses that can occur when a vehicle is driven infrequently. During a test drive, the focus should remain on the mechanical smoothness of the vehicle to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in any seized components. Listen for any unusual knocks or rattles from the suspension, particularly when navigating uneven surfaces, to confirm the integrity of the bushes and dampers. Check for any hesitation in the engine response or unusual vibrations through the steering wheel and brake pedal, as these can sometimes manifest in vehicles that have seen limited regular use. Ensure all exterior lighting, including the registration plate lamps, is fully functional to avoid a repeat of the minor electrical issues noted in previous years.
