The MERCEDES-BENZ B CLASS (2014-19) B180 5DR MPV 1.5D DPF SS 109 EU6 SE 6SPD is a compact, premium family MPV: taller and roomier than a hatchback, but easier to park than a large SUV. Its raised seating and five-door layout make journeys straightforward, while Mercedes styling gives it an upmarket feel compared with many alternatives. The B180 diesel suits commuters and small families wanting space, boot capacity and motorway ability without a bulky vehicle. SE trim and a six-speed manual keep the package familiar and practical; its efficient-minded diesel engine appeals to higher-mileage drivers, though condition and service history matter when buying any used diesel. Against the Volkswagen Golf Sportsvan and BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, it stands out in its premium class for its Mercedes badge. mycarcheck.com logged 150 checks across 54 VINs; average value £9,400, mileage 59,000, annual mileage 7,000 and keepers 1.12.
