Mercedes A Class 180 Elegance Petrol Cvt

[belucky22]

Interested in a 2011 model with 47,000 miles on the clock. Full documented service history. I appreciate nobody has a crystal ball but ... concerns any potential expensive problems with CVT or anything else ? What's CVT like to drive ? Any help appreciated. I find car buying a nightmare with everything to consider !!!
Could buy a Listers extended warranty - anyone used this ?

Check the history, to see if the ATF was changed about 10-11,000 miles ago - the CVT is rather sensitive to that, so if it was neglected, it's quite likely to develop problems later.

Don't know about Listers warranty, but the RAC Gold 3-month one (was provided by the dealer), saved me almost £600 on a new a/c condenser, and paid for a new OSR tyre, a couple of weeks after I bought my car.
