Thinking of buying a C220 estate on 07 what to look out for???

[cejsmith]

I'm thinking of buying a C220 estate auto on a 07 plate, the car has a full service history and has about 90K on the clock.

The car looks in mint condition, but I want to know what to look out for on the car. Are there any problems with the drive train or bodywork etc. Do they have DPF problems?

My last merc was a E300td estate , which was fairly robust apart from it rusting !!!!!

Also are they any good for towing and what sort of MPG do they get?

Thanks for the help.

My W203 has about the same mileage, everything is fine, tows 1200kg like a dream, got over 45 on a run, 35 backwards & forwards to work etc.
