Just bought a 3 year old C230 and the car seems to be fine in all aspects apart from a couple of electrical matters that I am not sure about.
Firstly How can I confirm if the car is fitted with rain sensors on windscreen?
I have one of the wing mirrors that is not demisting
The Headrest height adjustment does not work,
Cant seem to get RDS to work on radio (the manual does not help much).

The other issue is that it has new MOT that shows the car has done 20K miles but I have just come across a service sheet 12 months old that shows the mileage to be slightly greater at that time, than what it is now. Could I have bought a pup? and where do I stand legally,
Any advice welcome

You can go on line and get the previous MOT from DVLC

the car spec you can get here with the full 17 figure VIN

If the car has been clocked, then you should get a refund

Thanks for the advice Mal Its not old enough to have had a previous MOT though. Is there any other way of checking mileage?

Yes any MB garage will know, but not all will give the info, the original will that sold and serviced the car.
