Hello,
I bought a used approved Mercedes in a oficial franchise dealership.
(64 plate, C220 bluetec saloon, sport premium)
It was done for peace of mind, warranty, quality,... well you know, less worries.
I'm due to pickup the car tomorrow.
Problem:
At my request the sales executive sent me the service history of the car.
My main objective was to see what service was done on the car and if all recall's done.
Crossing service history with the 2017 MOT, I see this:
Date / Total / Miles driven
09/2018 / 49539 / 3659
10/2017 / 45880 / 2132
12/2016 / 43748 / 12090
11/2015 / 31658 / 15263
05/2015 / 16395 / 16395
10/2014 / 0
This does not look correct... it actually looks very strange!
I suspect the previous owner during 2016 started using a device to block counting all the miles.
Apparently this has become common on PCP cars.
The car is already paid-off... pickup is tomorrow and I don't know what to do now!
Is there a technical way to investigate the true millage on a W205?
What should I ask from Mercedes?
Any advice is welcomed...
