Mercedes-Benz B-Class pre purchase check, on the spot in Budapest

A typical on-site inspection of the Mercedes-Benz B-Class takes around 60 to 90 minutes, depending on the car and how easy it is to access.

Plenty of buyers arrive worried about a model's reputation, but the honest picture for a Mercedes-Benz B-Class is that the individual car's history decides far more than the badge does. On a diesel the expensive items are the particulate filter, EGR, injectors and turbo, and a city-only history is exactly the pattern that wears them out early - so we read the regeneration data and look for it. With the petrol engines we also check the spark plugs, coils and the breathing side - air filter, intake and any vacuum leaks - since these cause the rough running buyers often mistake for something worse. Being a regular road car, the typical wear is in the clutch, suspension and the small cosmetic and electrical niggles that build up with ordinary daily use. Premium German cars like this carry a lot of electronics and complex options, so we pay extra attention to electrical faults, oil consumption and - where fitted - adaptive or air suspension, and we like to see a consistent specialist service history. We would rather you knew the Mercedes-Benz B-Class's weak points before you negotiated than after you collected the keys, so we check each one and tell you where this car stands.

Combined with the visible structure and a diagnostic scan, this reveals far more than a clean-looking advert ever will. We can't pull every national crash database at the roadside, but a repaired structure leaves traces, and finding them is exactly what the inspection is for.
