The MERCEDES-BENZ B CLASS (2008-12) B160 5DR MPV 1.5 BLUEEFFICIENCY 95 EU5 SPORT is a compact, five-door people carrier: taller and roomier than a conventional family hatchback, but easier to place than a large MPV. In the UK used-car market, it offers Mercedes-Benz appeal in a practical, relatively small package. mycarcheck.com records 748 checks covering 365 VINs, a useful sample. Cars averaged 85,000 miles and 5,000 miles annually; average recorded private-sale value was £2,800. They had around three previous keepers, so check each car’s history and condition rather than assuming examples are alike. Ideal for commuters and families, the B160 Sport’s higher seating and flexible cabin help with everyday trips. Its 95hp petrol engine favours economical driving over quick acceleration, while BlueEFFICIENCY reflects an efficiency-minded version. Against Ford C-MAX and Volkswagen Golf Plus rivals, it combines compact MPV practicality with Mercedes-Benz’s premium image; inspect service history and condition before buying.
