Here are the top ten warranty claims according to AUTOPROTECT and PARKERS web site. The reliability survey, which was carried out between 2008 and 2010, covered cars that were outside of their original warranty period. More than 155,562 claims were recorded during this time and the results were sorted by the number of faults per category. The number of claims is followed by the average cost of repair. I have to say some of the prices appeared to be on the lowish side for Mercs but bear in mind its averaged across all makes and does give an indication of the nature of the failures.

2. Alternators - 8,061 claims. £239.30.
3. Electric window motors - 7,633 claims. £203.41
