Used Mercedes-Benz V-Class 2014-present reliability review

The Mercedes-Benz V-Class has a luxurious and really spacious interior, but traditional MPVs are better to drive and costconsiderably less to buy.

What should I look for in a used Mercedes-Benz V Class?

Parking scrapes should be few and far between, because the V-Class gets front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera as standard. However, those flat sides are susceptible to door dings in car parks, so check carefully for any dents.

The interior should be in pristine condition if the seller is asking for top money, so look out for any stains on the carpet, rips in the leather seats or marks to the plastics. Make sure all the electric functions work properly, too.
