2020 Mercedes-Benz B 1.3L Petrol · WN20 EYZ

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy following a failed MOT test on 6 June 2026 at 93,639 miles. The maintenance trend shows a significant decline from a period of relatively clean records. While the car passed its 2024 and 2025 tests without defects, the recent failure for a fractured nearside front coil spring and both tyres reaching the legal limit indicates a lack of preventative inspection regarding critical wear-related components. The mileage accumulation is high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging over 15,000 miles per year. There is a sharp increase in usage between the June 2025 test at 51,555 miles and the June 2026 test at 93,639 miles, representing over 42,000 miles driven in a single year. This rapid increase likely placed accelerated stress on the drivetrain and suspension components, which explains the sudden failure of the coil spring and the critical state of the front tyres. A buyer must inspect the entire front suspension assembly to ensure that the fractured coil spring has not caused secondary damage to the shock absorber or mounting points. The history of perishing tyres in 2025 followed by total wear in 2026 suggests the owner may be neglecting routine maintenance until a test failure forces action. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check of the brake disc thickness and the condition of rubber bushings is essential, as these areas were not highlighted in the recent records.
