Was about the pull the trigger on a 63 plate E-Class (14k miles) from a main Merc dealer & asked about the Service History.
Was told that they can tell from the car computer that it has had a 1st service but this hasn't been carried out by Mercedes & hence does not show on their history. They even went as far as to ring the previous owner but he was less than co-operative apparently.
Mercedes claim this will not affect the price or any future value but I am sceptical. They would do a B service which is due before I get it but the question is buy or walk away?
