2011 E220CDi convertible - things to look for?

[Gollom]

Going to take a look at one for Mrs. Gollom tomorrow on 130K (not Mrs. Gollom, the car....)

Engine is 651911

What do I need to look out for please? MOT history is very good with just the odd tyre advisory

One odd thing is that it mentions the subframe in 2019 (Rear Sub-frame is corroded but structural rigidity is not significantly reduced. Rear subframe slightly corroded around suspension mounting points) but nothing since. Is the only way to check by getting it in the air?

Check subframe, engine oil leaks, online service history (I can do that), roof smoothness, front suspension play.

Thanks Olly. Will drop you a PM

Can I check the subframe or does it need to be checked from underneath?

 

[Gollom]

Just seen the service history which looks pretty good - thanks Olly!

Any other observations?

The history is excellent. Just what is needed.
