So I am thinking of buying a B class for my wife, I am aware they are equipped with the 1.5dCi Renault engine - and I am fine with it. I just dont seem to be able to find any information regarding reliability on this car all together. Not many owner reviews in various sites although I see a lot of B class around. We are going for the automatic one but - again - cannot find info on the reliability of the gearbox etc.

Price wise, you can get a 2 year old car with 20k-30k on the clock for £13k-£14k, sounds good to me.

Any thoughts?

I can not comment on the B Class, but we have two Dacia Dokker in our company who as far as I know use the 1.5 dCi Renault engine.
The have done around 110.000 miles in 18 months, all without fault and with impeccable fuel economy.

It is by far not a refined engine and has turbo lag like an old VW PD TDI, but, they run and run and run.
