C Class 220CDI Elegance

To date its been in the dealers more than any other car Ive owned

Bought in 2010 with 5800 on the clock, its August 2012 and now its done 27000, havent yet managed to run it for 12 months without some problem but still hoping. In the nearly two years its had

2 wing mirror LED units, one faulty the other water ingress
2 Oxygen exhaust sensors (about 9 months apart)
1 High tone horn
1 Throttle switch assembly

Whilst not a catastophe its been annoying as I suppose its been in a full week over that time, Mercedes finally gave me the 2 year warranty after a battle and a half so these have been done on that warranty. I expected more as my Wifes Honda Jazz six years old and also 27000 has never missed a beat and never been in dock as was our 8 year old Golf so it can be done, and I expected more from a £35K car as this was supposed to be the one that was back to Mercedes reliability.

Cost of repairs would have been probably 13 to £1500 I estimate. Im hoping mechanically it will be fine as even after all this I like the car, the build is pretty good and when it runs without any warning lights I enjoy it and my dealer has been very helpful thankfully
