Thinking of buying this...any feedback, pointers please

I’m sure it’s an ok car, but it doesn’t look as nice as the other one. Spec maybe not as good - LWB pointless unless you’re chauffeuring and the other one had designo nappa leather/massage seat and a lighter interior (isn’t that what you liked?)

20s will be a harder ride and probably more expensive for tyres (and cracks/buckles maybe?)

Not keen on the 2.5 year gap in servicing and Nankang tyres with chunks out of the sidewalls either - doesn’t have the signs of ownership I’d be looking for buying something like a used S-class.

Man, that car is massive..!!
I did think the OP was looking for a light interior but I like the body colour & the black interior - can't get over the size of the car.
Personally, I'd be looking to change those Nankang tyres ASAP & asking the dealer to ensure the maintenance is correct & up to date.
That's gonna be one smooth ride.
I frequently see a slammed S63 in the Poole area, it's long, low, black & looks the nuts.

Just my 2 penn'orth...
I've had experience of Williams Group East Peckham (the previous incarnation of PCBS). On the car I viewed the EML was on and it had a noticeable misfire when pulling hard. Admittedly the sales guy said it was booked with the main dealer to be fixed, but nowhere was it mentioned in the ad. It was also advertised as one owner, but had 4 previous listed on the V5. I'm not suggesting this was anything but a clerical error in the ad, but just as a heads up to check everything really carefully when you view the car.

With the gappy service history and chunks missing on the sidewall of the Nangkang tyres on this one (plus your own experiences) I think it’s fair to say that they don’t seem too choosy with their stock?

Certainly will do that, I'm going to look for an MB specialist to give it a look over before I travel up to view it. If anyone can be recommended in the Wolverhampton area then please do so. Thanks

I did prefer a lighter interior but that has grown on me. I've asked about tyres and for some more pic of all the wheels.. I'm to inform the salesperson as to what service is due - at least an oil change - need to confirm if ATF is due as well as any filters. She said they will service it, but not @main dealer using MB parts.

According to the MB service checker it only requires an A service with Sunroof service now.
A B service was carried out by MB in Oct 2021 @44k, so I'm assuming air/fuel/cabin filters were changed then.
The next A service was done by an indy in Oct 2022 @56k with Ad blue top up. Mileage is now 69k.
I would have thought brake fluid would be due now too.
I'll check with the MB dealer what was done during the 4 services with the first owner.
It had new front discs and pads @last service in Oct 22
