What You Need to Know if You Want to Buy a Used Mercedes B-Class W245

Model: Mercedes Classe B W245, MK 1 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Checks and maintenance

If you intend to buy a used Mercedes B-Class W245, what should you know to make a good purchase? It is an excellent choice if you are looking for a compact yet spacious car, with a high seating position and good visibility; EuroNCAP rated it 5 stars, making it a safe car, with the ability to load large items, but it still has a higher quality interior compared to direct competitors. On the other hand, it should be avoided if you have a tight budget (it is still a car that costs more than average); it has issues with rust, so if you live in a very humid area or by the coast, it is not recommended. If you are looking for a brilliant automatic gearbox, it should also be avoided, as well as if you are looking for a refined diesel or a car with conventional design.
