BENZE220AMG Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_raven Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnmayerrr Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I wouldn't buy that Mercedes unless they offered to fix it for free. Subframe rust on a 2017 car? What a shame! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAVITEL Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rab60bit88 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 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.

KWILB Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 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.
