Mercedes-Benz B Class Buyers Guide 

@@RafaelCasagrandeav Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy your B Class. The only things that I’ve had is sensor issues. From memory I had a boost sensor fail, £140 for a replacement including diagnostics and fitting. I also had an issue with the accelerator sensor which turned out to be the connector which was cleaned out with an air line and I’ve never had any more issues. Hope this helps.

It could always vary on different markets. I also have an SLK with the upgraded COMAND sat nav and there isn’t an adaptor in the glove box. I would definitely check and let me know how you get on. I feel the same about the glove box, I find the compartment in the centre where the gear lever in a manual car is more useful.

Thanks for watching! I know that the automatic gearboxes do adapt to how you drive. When I first brought my B Class, the gearbox didn’t want to give my any power, this was probably due to the elderly couple that owned it before me who didn’t really use the car. Over a few weeks, it started to downshift more on hills and rev up more to give more power. The vibration in the steering wheel could be a mechanical issue. We have a lot of roads by me that have a stone chipping surface and I can feel a vibration though the wheel. Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks for watching. I would always advise going for a car with good service history. The service intervals on my B Class are every 13,500 miles. Personally I would carry on looking as their are plenty of other cars out there. My B Class has been very reliable with only a couple of sensor issues. As with most Mercedes models, engines, gearboxes, etc generally last well but the sensors are the weak point. My B Class was made in Germany as well. Hope this helps, Steven 👍

Well it can vary depending on the level of service (Mercedes mainly have an ‘A’ and ‘B’ services). You can also get things like the automatic transmission serviced as well. I would suggest getting some quotes at your local call and a Mercedes independent. Other than basic servicing, there’s not a lot to go wrong. The main issue is sensors, the engine, gearbox and drivetrain are usually pretty solid with regular servicing.

Hello and thanks for watching. I’m not sure I will be much help as the badge was already there when I purchased the car. However I’m not sure how it has been fitted as it seems to sit over the original badge?!?! Obviously it can be done but I’m not sure how. Thanks, Steven 👍

They are a great car and I do recommend them. I suppose the only cons would be the slightly running costs of a petrol car. However I understand that diesels aren’t for everyone. There’s generally not much that go wrong with these cars. Check that the car feels good on the test drive and that all the electronics work as they should. As a general rule of thumb, the engines gearboxes, etc will last well with regular servicing and maintenance. Sadly it’s often sensors and electronics that let these cars (and my own B Class included) down on occasion.
