Condition 

7

While the car is well-maintained and comes with the desirable F1 Performance Package, there are some minor cosmetic and maintenance points to consider. The last MOT test had advisories for thin brake pads, and the mileage is relatively high at 92,499 miles. However, recent service history from a Mercedes-Benz specialist is a plus.
