2012 Mercedes-Benz B-Class 1.8L Diesel · X60 PAL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in preventative care. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2025 at 59,524 miles identified several advisories that were absent in previous years. Specifically, the tester flagged both front and rear brake discs as pitted or scored, alongside front tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear. This indicates that while the car passed the test, the owner has recently neglected the replacement of consumable components. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,250 miles per year. Data from the 2020 test at 44,559 miles to the 2025 test at 59,524 miles shows consistent, low-usage patterns with a gap of only 3,061 miles between 2024 and the most recent test. While low mileage suggests less mechanical drivetrain wear, it can lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between uses. A buyer must closely inspect the braking system in person, as the scoring and pitting on the discs noted in 2025 suggest the calipers may be sticking or reacting to inactivity. The uneven wear on the front tyres also indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, the inspection should also check for structural corrosion on the chassis and perished rubber hoses, as these are common failure points on low-mileage cars that have not been driven frequently.
