W246 buying advise

[V6Matty]

I had a quick search for faults on the W246 here but didn’t come up with anything obvious, so anyone with a general buying guide on what to look for specifically on this model?
Looking at a B200 Sport Premium on Friday (1.6 petrol with the 7g dct box) looks a good example and hoping that it being petrol it’ll be fine. I will be taking the iCarsoft with me and garage are more than happy for me to scan both before and after a drive and confirmed they won’t warm it up prior to us arriving.
All advise welcomed right now,

@Wearsafoxhat had one, not sure of the age though.

They’re not overly represented here which could be a good thing, or just that they’re not that popular.

Yep, doesn’t seem to be to many about, I think @rorywquin has one as well
As you say, could be a good thing that there aren’t that many, might mean there aren’t too many issues lol

As long as it’s not as unreliable as the 169 has been then we’re good

My wife’s is a B180 (diesel) model purchase at 1 year old in 2015. Has been faultless.

We had a B180, 2015. Lovely comfy car really. Just found it a little under powered. Would go for a B200 if we where to buy another.

We’re looking at the B200, noticed it’s actually the 1.6 petrol version which I’ll admit to know nothing about in reality
