Description
Great reliable car that's been well looked after during my ownership. Although we've misplaced the service book, it has been regularly maintained and cared for, with work carried out by a trusted mechanic friend.
Under my ownership, the car has had new Bilstein :D front shocks and droplinks fitted, transmission oil changed, and has been routinely serviced. It also comes with new tyres and a healthy battery, so it's ready to drive away.
When I went to get the MOT done we found out that the subframe had rust which is a common issue in these cars and Mercedes had a recall on these but we welded and applied an under coat so no rust problems for a while. we also replaced the lower control arm. I can share a full video of the underbody if you are interested.
The engine is in good condition and runs well, and the air conditioning works very well perfect for everyday comfort. The car hasn't been driven much recently, so it would make an ideal daily driver, especially for someone needing a practical and affordable vehicle for ULEZ zones.
There are a few cosmetic dents on the bonnet, as it was when I bought it and the last owner mentioned that it was hail damage. nothing that affects the drive or overall reliability of the car.
Overall, a solid car with a top Mercedes engine (OM656) that's been maintained properly and is ready for its next owner.
