C Class W205 things to watch out for

[Rya]

Hi all,

Quite new here n had some really helpful responses so far. Have another question please.

Without worrying me too much (I'm aware there are problems!) when I go to look at a used W205 what are some tell tale / obvious problems which would steer me away? So far I'm checking for squeaky dash, clicking vents and trying to find full MB service history.

I'm trying to look at a 15 plate rather than 14 hoping there may have been some minor improvements?!

Thanks in advance

Well my 205 is lovely. Mine is the AMG line premium and I'm very impressed with it. Mine is only 5 months old though...

From what I have seen through my workshop though, its a very refined car and leaps and bounds ahead of the 204.
