2014 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.8L Diesel · ST64 CDE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-26 at 95,919 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, the MOT history reveals inconsistencies: two failed tests on 2025-04-15 and 2024-04-09 at identical mileages (90,567 and 80,366 respectively) with no recorded defects, suggesting potential administrative errors or unaddressed issues. The absence of mechanical failures in the latest test implies stability, but the repeated failures without clear reasons raise concerns about the reliability of the recorded data. The mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 7,993 miles, aligning with typical usage for a 12-year-old vehicle. Gaps between MOT tests are consistent, with one year between 2024-04-09 and 2025-04-15, and 11 months between 2025-04-15 and 2026-03-26. No significant spikes or drops in mileage are evident, indicating regular use. The lack of consumable wear notes (e.g., tyres, wipers) in the records suggests either meticulous maintenance or incomplete reporting. A physical inspection should focus on suspension components, as repeated MOT failures without recorded defects may hint at unresolved issues. Check for corrosion on underbody panels, particularly if the vehicle was exposed to salt or harsh weather. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be examined for binding or uneven wear, given the history of failed tests. The exhaust system and structural integrity also warrant scrutiny, as these are common areas for deterioration in older vehicles. The MOT records do not confirm these issues, but the pattern of failures necessitates a thorough hands-on assessment.
