2008 Mercedes B-Class 1.7L Petrol · PN58 AWJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness based on the latest MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 23 June 2025 at 61,486 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the last three years, as the vehicle has consistently met minimum safety standards without any failures or advisories flagged during the testing process. The mileage data reveals a significant anomaly in usage patterns. Between July 2023 and June 2024, the vehicle covered 3,586 miles, moving from 94,649 to 98,235 miles. However, the record between June 2024 and June 2025 shows a drop to 61,486 miles, which is physically impossible without an odometer rollback or a clerical error. This discrepancy suggests either mechanical tampering or a significant recording mistake in the official database, as the overall average of 3,416 miles per year is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old Mercedes-Benz. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must account for the risks associated with low-mileage, older vehicles that may have sat for long periods. Lack of use often leads to degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes, bushings, and perished seals which do not always trigger an MOT failure until they snap. A physical inspection should focus on brake caliper corrosion, tyre age-related cracking, and the structural integrity of the chassis. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for hidden rust in the sills and floor pans is essential, as the low mileage does not prevent environmental oxidation.
