Mercedes-Benz S-Class S430 2000

4 star review

I have owned an S430 for six years. The rust round the wheel arches is a major problem, even when stored in a garage. It’s not something that one expects with a car costing 60K upwards in year 2000. It is fitted with adaptive cruise, which was great when I first bought the car but the computer prognosis suggests that the fault could be the auto box and or the radar unit both being cost prohibitive to replace. The car is superbly quiet comfortable and easy to drive, but I have doubts about what will fail next. If other manufacturers can make reliable cars albeit when they are 10 years old, Mercedes needs to put more into quality control especially when one considers the price charged. I have considered another S.H. ’S’ Class but the reliability of the new 7 speed auto puts me off.

5 star review

Owned from new, now 10 years old and 120,000 miles on her. Serviced myself at manufacturer intervals and it she has never broke down. No rust issues, mechanical or electrical. I would sell / buy now but as th car costs me nothing and a new ones is £70k+ whats the point?

Mercedes-Benz S-Class S320CDi 2000

1 star review

Piece of c**p!! I wish I still had my old E300 turbodiesel! Where do I start? I’ve had this vehicle five years now, bought from a dealer, mileage now 140,000. Very unsightly rust on all four wheel arches. MB not interested enough to act. A/C packed in - no simple recharge required. ABS packed in. Front suspension almost collapsed - multiple causes... EL system packed in. Something in the turbo or exhaust has now packed in causing acceleration to be way down, and kick-down no longer does anything... Power steering intermittent, as are about 3 other faults... need to disconnect battery to reset everything monthly. Battery (new one) flattens after 10 days locked and alarmed. Parking brake jams on. SatNav only ’wakes up’ after 70 minutes of driving. Fuel consumption on trip computer is like surreal fiction - it bears no relation to miles covered and fuel used. Must be there purely for feel-good factor.
