2009 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.5L Petrol · RN09 MJN

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT in March 2026 at 18,950 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has moved from minor advisories to a defect-free record. The absence of failures in the last two tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components are currently being maintained to an acceptable standard. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,115 miles per year. The data shows a pattern of minimal use, with long periods of storage rather than high-frequency commuting. Between March 2022 and February 2023, the car covered only 8 miles, while a more significant gap of 6,701 miles occurred between February 2025 and March 2026. While the low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of age degradation in rubber-based components and fluid-related issues. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components typically affected by low-mileage usage. The 2024 test flagged both front outer tyres as worn close to the legal limit, which may indicate alignment issues or flat-spotting from sitting stationary. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, a thorough check of the brake system for seized calipers or perished discs is essential, as infrequent use often leads to corrosion. Additionally, the chassis and suspension bushes require inspection for structural rust, as these degrade over time regardless of how few miles the car has driven.
