Hi,
I am looking for 56 - 09 E320CDI saloon with features such as heated leather, bi-xenon, memory seats, through loading etc.
One car I came across has MB service history and not too high mileage - just over 100k. MOT history contains a number of waarying signs of bad ownership such as tyres being close to legal limit / cords exposed. One MOT (done by MB dealer) has a particularly large number of fails and advisories.
How serious and expensive are these ones (especially the suspension related)?
Reason(s) for refusal to issue Certificate
Nearside Headlamp aim too low (1.8)
Offside Headlamp aim too low (1.8)
Nearside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (4.1.D.1b)
Advisory Notice issued
Windscreen has damage to an area less than a 10mm circle within zone 'A' (8.3.1a)
Windscreen has damage to an area less than a 40mm circle outside zone 'A' (8.3.1d)
Nearside Front Upper Suspension arm has slight play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)
Offside Front Upper Suspension arm has slight play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2)
Nearside Front suspension has slight play in a lower suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a)
Offside Front suspension has slight play in a lower suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a)
Nearside Rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
Offside Rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
