2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.5L Diesel · ROL 680

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 17 June 2026 at 13,473 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest test introduced new minor defects. The tester flagged a slightly distorted nearside front road wheel and a damaged outer side wall on the offside front tyre. These issues suggest recent impact damage or curb strikes rather than a pattern of mechanical failure or structural neglect. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,123 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between February 2021 and June 2026, where the car covered only 13 miles over five years. Between February 2018 and 2019, the vehicle covered 1,615 miles. This extremely low usage rate often reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension but frequently indicates that rubber components, seals, and brake fluid may have degraded due to age and lack of thermal cycling. A buyer must physically inspect the front wheel assembly specifically, as the recurring reports of distorted rims and tyre sidew damage in 2018 and 2026 indicate the vehicle has encountered significant lateral impacts. This could lead to hidden damage in the steering geometry or suspension wisharm bearings. Given the long periods of stationary time, a thorough check is required for seized brake calipers, perished rubber hoses, and dry-rotted tyres that may have sufficient tread despite low mileage.
