Corrosion of the subframe

[BENZE220AMG]

Salutations, I appreciate you providing that information.
I am contemplating purchasing a 2017 CLS 220AMG Line Premium, but while reviewing the vehicle's MOT history, it indicates that there were advisories during the last inspection. My main issue is the subframe rust, which is not structurally unsafe. Other than that, it is a motor with a full MB service history and 49000 miles, and it has just one owner.
I would greatly appreciate any input you have.

My warmest regards Thank you.

As bad as it is in places you can see, it might be much worse in places you can't.
Given the amount of trouble it would cause to fix if necessary, I would personally pass on it.

I wouldn't buy that Mercedes unless they offered to fix it for free. Subframe rust on a 2017 car? What a shame!

Shouldn't 2017 vehicles be unaffected? It could simply be surface rust, which is quite common. Unless it can be thoroughly examined, I think it's better to stay away from it.

The subframe failed on my 2016 Mercedes C207E400, and the vehicle was written off.Get out of here.Upon examination, my vehicle was cleared by a renowned expert.My vehicle's frame rusted within.

Some mot testers can be a little off when it comes to warnings, so I would either check it myself or get someone else to do it. Due to the salt and road conditions, as well as the fact that they are the closest parts to the road and will inevitably take a hammering from stones and other debris, subframes will inevitably see surface rust.

You can see a lot of these autos. To hell with it, just walk away and keep searching.
