2015 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.8L Diesel · ST64 WWR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in November 2025 at 76,521 miles. However, the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The owner consistently addresses faults only after an MOT failure. The most recent failure in 2025 involved both nearside and offside rear coil springs, which were rectified immediately to secure a pass the following day. This suggests the suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life due to metal fatigue. At eleven years old, the Mercedes-Benz B-Class has averaged approximately 7,000 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between the November 2024 and 2025 tests, and approximately 5,800 miles in the preceding year. This steady usage suggests the car has not suffered from prolonged stagnation, though the degradation of rubber and metal components remains relevant. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry, as the history shows recurring issues with wear items, including the anti-roll bar linkage in 2024 and the rear coil springs in 2025. The braking system warrants attention; the 2023 record flagged thin pads and a pitted offside rear inner disc. Given the pattern of replacing parts only upon failure, the buyer should check for binding calipers and the condition of the suspension bushings to ensure no further mechanical failures are developing before the next annual test.
