2013 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.8L Diesel · SP13 KXZ

The 2026-06-18 date indicates the current test is approximately 1.5 years post-MOT, placing the vehicle in a period of relatively stable maintenance where the most recent test at 25,834 miles was passed without defects. This suggests the mechanical issues have not been exacerbated since the first MOT, though the vehicle has not been fully serviced in the last decade. Regarding the mileage pattern, the record shows a consistent accumulation of 1,987 miles per year, which is low for a 2013 model, likely due to the vehicle being used for a long period or maintained lightly. This steady progression means no rapid wear has occurred that would suggest a sudden increase in consumption, but the cumulative wear on suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components remains a factor to consider. The most significant mechanical risk identified is the corrosion of the brake pipes, specifically the nearside and offside front and rear brake pipes, which have been covered in grease or material. This is a recurring issue that likely indicates the vehicle has not undergone proper brake flushing or cleaning since the 2021 test, suggesting a potential trend of neglect in this critical area. While the brake discs appear to be in good condition, the presence of grease or corrosion on these pipe sections warrants immediate inspection to rule out hidden structural damage.
