Just a heads up on three things:
1) Had a starter motor failure on 2 year old 23k E250, stop start the culprit, no UK stock so ultimately 2 weeks in a hire car.
2) If your buying an W213 A) it’s a large C class, not an E class, (W211 owners will probably explode!) and B) if the 51k 16 plate one I was loaned is anything to go buy will be (potentially) clocked in huge numbers - negligible wear anywhere.
3) Mercedes assist/Mobilio in a race to the bottom. Hopeless. £30 limit on roadside assist now, so effectively no roadside repairs, just forward to dealership.
