MCB units age.  Especially with vibration.  A 10A MCB becomes a 9A MCB after 
some miles. 

Fuses don't. 

MCB units are good at protecting people since they trip quickly and 
aggressively. 

Fuses tend to linger before blowing, and thus are comparatively bad at 
protecting
people (longer shock) but better at protecting infrastructure (surge
and switch-on-transient resistance).
