MODERN CLASSIC MERCEDES HEALTH CHECK (1990S – 2000S)
Does your Modern Classic Mercedes require some love? Perhaps you have owned the car for years and haven’t had the undercarriage or mechanicals thoroughly inspectd beyond the usual routine servicing? As the UK’s leading Modern Classic Mercedes specialist, we have a comprehensive health check just for your vehicle.
WHAT IS IT?
SLSHOP’s VHC is a step-by-step interrogation of your Modern Classic Mercedes, covering 300 different elements and includes everything from inspecting the state of your vehicle’s rear axle and braking to checking the functioning of all electronic modules.
WHAT DOES THE VEHICLE HEALTH CHECK INVOLVE?
Our masterful Mercedes craftsmen have designed the health check to give you a comprehensive report on the mechanical, structural, electrical and cosmetic condition of your vehicle.
This investigation goes well beyond the realms of an MOT check, allowing us to furnish you with a detailed report outlining the condition of your vehicle and any works required through a red, amber and green system of urgency.
With this detailed report, we’ll work with you to make any required improvements according to your budget and timeline, making recommendations on when you might need to address other elements in the future.
WHAT AREAS DOES IT COVER?
Your R129 VHC covers 17 different categories, each with their own sub-categories amounting to 300 different inspections detailed on the report. These include:
- Electricals
- Tyres
- Brakes
- Steering
- Suspension
- Fuel pump package
- Drive train
- Underbody corrosion
- Engine bay
- Bulkhead
- External body condition

- Soft top

WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER A VEHICLE HEALTH CHECK?
Knowledge is power and often a Vehicle Health Check can simply reassure you that your vehicle is of good condition and worthy of your investment. In some cases, it may help you answer the question, do I keep it or sell it on. Regardless, we’re here to help guide you through the process.
