AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2025-12-15 MOT at 97,548 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows no worsening trend. The preceding 2025-12-12 test at the same mileage also recorded no defects after a retest, reinforcing confidence in the current condition. Mileage has risen from 82,195 miles in December 2022 to 97,548 miles in December 2025, an average annual increase of about 5,000 miles, which matches the typical usage for a 14‑year‑old Mercedes‑Benz B‑Class and suggests consistent, regular driving rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, inspect the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding, and look for structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis, while also checking tyre tread depth and wiper condition as routine consumable items. No recurring mechanical faults appear in the MOT history, and the absence of recorded defects across five annual tests indicates that previous owners have maintained the car adequately; however, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the condition of wear items and any hidden corrosion.
