Great cars. Super smooth except !

I’ve owned the diesel estate night edition which is a great all rounder and very good on fuel. I drove 120,000 miles in two years in it as a work car. Never disappointed in the comfort. My biggest issue is engine warning lights.

Radio unit packed up during warranty period which was changed by Mercedes, and then it went again out of warranty. Using iPhone for radio now.

With full service history but out of warranty the steering rack then decided to dry up and made lots of noise. An unusual item to go but that was fixed by an independent specialist for half the price of main dealer. Sell the shirt on your back if you go to mercedes to do for everything. I mean wiper blades £50 at main dealer, They should be wearing balaclavas in the service department!

The biggest issue I have is with engine management light and NOK sensor fault which is very common on Mercedes I’m told. If you’re out of warranty expect to pay over £1000 to replace them. If you’re lucky Mercedes will correct it under recall. They are reluctant so push them even if your car is over three years old.

Overall I’d say still say great cars but I’ve has some issues so decided not to buy another as I’ve lost some faith in Mercedes. Always buy with warranty. Check the NOK sensors (2) have been changed under recall.
