Used Mercedes-Benz B Class for Sale in Stoke-on-Trent

About the Mercedes-Benz B Class

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class is a compact MPV built on the same platform as the A-Class, offering a taller, more practical body with sliding rear doors and a roomy cabin for its size. It was sold across two generations, with the first (W245) introduced in 2005 and the second (W246) arriving in 2011, the generation covered by the examples on this page. In the Mercedes range it sits above the A-Class hatchback in terms of space and flexibility, and it appeals to buyers who want a premium badge with family-friendly practicality.

The 1.5 B180 CDI listed here is a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel, one of the more economical engines in the range and a sensible choice for regular motorway miles or school runs. Sport trim adds sportier styling and a firmer feel on the road, and it is a popular specification on the used market. Buyers will also come across petrol options and higher-output diesels in the same generation, so it is worth checking the exact engine and trim before you commit.

Owners tend to praise the comfortable ride, the well-finished interior for the class, the flexible seating and load space, and the low running costs that diesel economy brings. Good-quality seats and a sensible driving position help on longer journeys.

When looking at a used example, check the full service history and confirm that the cambelt or timing service has been carried out where required, as this varies by engine. Look for signs of clutch wear, listen for unusual noises from the turbo or the dual-clutch-free manual gearbox under load, and test the sliding doors and electric features. A diesel particulate filter that has been driven only on short trips can clog, so ask about the car's usage. Check the tyres and brakes, and make sure any recall work has been completed.
