Estimated prices by model year, from its price when new and typical EV depreciation, and the real-world range you can expect today after about 2% battery wear a year. These are estimates, not valuations: mileage, condition and battery health make a big difference.

Summary
The Mercedes-Benz B 250e is a 5-seat hatchback with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2015 to 2017, when it cost £28,875 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.9 seconds, slower than 70% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 93 miles (150 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That puts it among the shortest-range 10% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 67th of 67 hatchbacks.
It uses around 3.3 mi/kWh (187 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 28 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 0 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 66 miles (106 km) at motorway speeds.
No heat pump is listed for this version, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L).
Second-hand, a 2015 example is estimated at £3,000–£5,200 and a 2017 one at £4,100–£6,400, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2015 car should still manage about 75 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
