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 battery-cover and fuel-hose recall completion records.
- Verify driveshaft, steering, and brake-reservoir recall repairs.
- Inspect tires and wheels; verify the tire load label.
- 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.
