Hi, We have owned the Mercedes for around 6 years and it's been an excellent car. In fact we have replaced it with another one. Since our ownership it has always been serviced by our local mechanic that we have used for over a decade. As you will know if you are looking to buy an E Class there are a couple of know issues with these cars, namely the air suspension at the rear and the corrosion on the rear subframe. The rear air shocks were replaced on our car around 18 months ago and the subframe was replaced by Mercedes under warranty a couple of months ago. In summary. It has a long Mot, just serviced and the know issues with these are all sorted out.
