Hi to all, found this very informative site when looking for info about my problem. I had my MOT here in the UK on Tuesday to have it fail because the rear subframe has rusted, cracked and split! I have been quoted £1,600 Inc labour, and as a Senior on pension, you could imagine the shock!
It is a 2007 c class 1.8 Kompressor Sport. Is this a known problem? Thanks.

Welcome. Yes seems to be a well known issue. Search on here, you won't have to search too hard.

Hello and welcome,

As per above, unfortunately quite common

Have you had the car long, have you Mercedes service history and do you have a relationship with a Mercedes dealer - depending upon the answer to those questions you could possibly get it replaced by Mercedes FOC - it has happened - quite a few threads end positively

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately the subframe rust is a known issue.
That aside, hope you are sorted soon.

Hello and welcome
Probably not the answer you're looking forward to, as mentioned above all to common
