Question 1

What are the known problems of the petrol Mercedes C-Class?

Accepted Answer

On the W204, the 1.8-litre M271 in the C 180 and C 200 can suffer timing-chain wear: listen for a rattle on a cold start. Later W205 and W206 engines have a better record, though service history still matters.

Question 2

How much road tax does a petrol C-Class pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Its CO₂ figure × 0.6 × a band factor that rises with emissions. A petrol car at 150 g/km pays €99 a year, so a C 200 costs far less to tax than a V8 C 63.

Question 3

Is a used Mercedes-AMG C 43 or C 63 worth buying?

Accepted Answer

On the W205, the C 43 has a twin-turbo V6 and 4MATIC, while the C 63 has a twin-turbo V8 and rear-wheel drive. Both pay much more road tax than a C 200, so check tyres, brakes and any sign of track use.

Question 4

Which petrol versions does the new Mercedes C-Class come in?

Accepted Answer

The C 200 with 177 hp, the C 250 with 218 hp, also with 4MATIC, and the C 300 with 258 hp, all automatic. Each is offered as a saloon or estate, in base or AMG Line trim.
