The MERCEDES-BENZ B CLASS (2008-12) B170 5DR MPV 1.7 116 SPORT is a compact five-door family car with a taller, roomier shape than a conventional hatchback. It sits between small family cars and larger people carriers in the UK market, offering Mercedes-Benz appeal in a practical, easy-to-park package for everyday use. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 39 look-ups covering 14 distinct vehicles, a useful snapshot rather than a full reliability verdict. Its average private-sale valuation is £1,800, with average recorded mileage of 100,000 and annual use around 8,000 miles. Cars checked had nearly four previous keepers on average, so review each car’s history carefully. The B170 Sport suits families, couples and commuters wanting a comfortable, upright cabin and everyday space without a large MPV’s bulk. Its petrol engine and Sport trim offer a premium-feeling alternative to mainstream compact MPVs such as the Ford C-MAX, with flexible seating and easy-going town manners as standout strengths overall.
