Have you just acquired a Modern Classic or ‘Young Timer’ Mercedes-Benz? Perhaps you have bought it over eBay, via an online auction or using the classifieds in your Mercedes-Benz Owners Club magazine. However you have started your ownership journey, the same question applies.

How well do you know the condition of the seals, its suspension, its engine mechanicals or emissions?

To help you answer this question with confidence, we’ve developed a New Owners Health Check to make the first 12 months of ownership hassle-free. At the core of our New Owner Health Check is our 300-point investigation that will offer you a complete picture of your vehicle’s mechanical, structural and cosmetic condition. Most importantly, we’ll outline what (if anything) needs to be done to enable you to enjoy your first 12 months (as a minimum) on the road without any issues.

1. Full Vehicle Health Check: covering 300 different aspects of your vehicle’s mechanical, structural and cosmetic condition; with a report supplied to you outlining these elements using a traffic light system to convey the urgency of any rectification work.
2. A Service: We’ll give your engine a flush, changing the oil and filters to ensure any stagnant contaminants have been ejected from your engine’s internals. Should you require one, we’ll also put your vehicle through an MOT.
3. Full Diagnostic & Roof Appraisal: Our Modern Classic team will use industry-leading diagnostic equipment to check your vehicle for any electrical, mechanical or hydraulic faults. Within this diagnostic process is a complete soft-top roof appraisal outlining the condition of the hood, its operation and any potential issues that may arise.
4. Free Valuation: To ensure you get the insurance cover your car deserves, we’ll issue you with a valuation certificate confirming the current value of your new asset.
5. CARE Service Plan: As a new owner, you’ll get your first year on us should you choose to sign up*. CARE Is an industry leading classic Mercedes servicing plan tailored to you and your car. We’ll manage your service and maintenance needs, utilising the funds you invest into your CARE account. There is absolutely no cost to CARE, you simply save £55.00 per month towards your account, which can be used to cover future servicing and maintenance costs. It’s simple.

This check is our way of helping you enjoy the first 12 months of motoring without any qualms. You’ll have a team who truly care about your car give it a once over and with the first year of CARE included, you’ll see the same people 12 months later. This is our way of ensuring you and your vehicle are properly cared for.
