I don 't know the model, as MBK stopped marketing in my region about 35 years ago. However, it can be roughly dated based on the components. It has V-brakes and and a four armed crankset spider. Both concepts were introduced by Shimano in 1996 on their top of the line XTR group. Obviously, the technology took a while to trickle down to the entry level, comfort/city bicycles like this one. Furthermore, the rear derailleur uses Mega Pulley technology which wasn't introduced until the 2000 model year, so it's from this century. To narrow things down further, better photos will be required.
