The MERCEDES-BENZ B CLASS (2014-19) B180 5DR MPV 1.6 SS 122 EU6 SPORT EXECUTIVE 7G-DCT AUTO is a premium compact MPV: taller and roomier than a conventional hatchback, but easier to park than a large family SUV. In the UK, it sits between mainstream family cars and pricier prestige models. Its raised seating and five-door layout make everyday access straightforward for passengers and luggage. The 1.6-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox offer relaxed, uncomplicated driving, while the Sport Executive trim gives this B180 an upmarket feel. It suits families, couples and commuters who want passenger space, a comfortable car and Mercedes-Benz badge appeal without moving up to a bulky SUV or larger people carrier. Mycarcheck.com records 26 look-ups across 17 distinct cars, a useful snapshot. Checks show average mileage of 40,000 miles, around 5,000 miles a year, and about 1.5 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation is £11,700. Against the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, it offers a similarly premium, practical alternative for families.
