Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1991 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL is a long-wheelbase model with only 48,000 miles, a V8 engine, and MOT until July 2026, making it a potentially attractive classic. It comes with a history file and invoices, though condition details require inspection.
Condition
7
The car has low mileage and a good history file, suggesting it's been well-maintained. However, 'slight wear visible in paint, interior, or wheels' is expected for its age, and the description doesn't explicitly state a pristine condition, thus a Very Good rating.
