Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Obtain steering coupling bolt and roof pillar recall completion records.
- Verify display recall completion and ask about electrical faults.
- Ask about crashes, engine problems, and collision avoidance faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mercedes-Benz dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
