2017 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.5L Diesel · X13 BAL

A consistent record of first-time passes defines this vehicle's roadworthiness history, with the latest inspection on 26 September 2025 resulting in a clean pass with no defects. While the overall trend is stable, the history reveals a recurring theme of wearing rear brake pads and intermittent tyre issues that have been flagged across several years. The recorded mileage of 36,587 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 4,065 miles per year. This usage pattern typically results in reduced mechanical wear on the engine and transmission components. However, low-mileage vehicles can be susceptible to the perishing of rubber bushes and seals or the accumulation of surface corrosion on exposed underbody components due to infrequent heat cycles and prolonged periods of inactivity. Specific attention is required regarding the rear braking system, as rear brake pads were noted as wearing thin in both 2022 and 2024. Although the 2025 certificate is clear, it is necessary to confirm whether the pads were replaced or if the wear rate is simply very low. During a test drive, the buyer should monitor for any pedal judder or an inconsistent braking feel, which could indicate the condition of the rear discs and pads. The 2023 advisories regarding a cut to the offside rear tyre and edge wear on the nearside front tyre necessitate a close inspection of the current tyre condition. Check for any remaining uneven wear on the front tyres, as this can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Any steering pull or vibration during high-speed driving should be noted as it may relate to these previous tyre wear patterns.
