Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1988 Mercedes 300 SE, finished in Smoke Grey with brown velour, presents well with 85,206 miles and a long MoT. It boasts a mostly complete service history up to 2006, a desirable color combination, and low ownership, though recent maintenance is undocumented.
Condition
6
The car shows moderate wear, with no mention of significant damage but the need for some reconditioning. The presence of an owner's handbook pack and a well-documented service history up to 2006 are positives, but the absence of recent maintenance receipts suggests some wear and tear.
