Question 1

Is a used petrol Mercedes cheaper to tax than a diesel in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

At the same CO₂ figure, yes: petrol uses a 0.6 fuel factor against 0.9 for diesel. A petrol car at 150 g/km pays €99 a year, but a large AMG engine with a high CO₂ figure pays far more.

Question 2

What are common faults on used petrol Mercedes engines?

Accepted Answer

On the 1.6 and 2.0 M270 and M274 engines of about 2012 to 2018, listen for a rattle at a cold start, which can point to worn camshaft adjusters or a stretched timing chain. Check that the oil was changed on time.

Question 3

Is the EQ Boost on a used Mercedes a hybrid?

Accepted Answer

It is a mild hybrid: a 48-volt starter-generator helps the engine pull away and restarts it smoothly, but the car cannot drive on electricity alone. It is taxed like any petrol car, on its CO₂ figure.

Question 4

Which petrol versions does the new Mercedes range offer?

Accepted Answer

The A 180 to A 250 4MATIC, the C 200, C 250 and C 300, the E 200 and E 450, the CLE coupé and cabriolet, GLC, GLE, GLS, S-Class and G 500, plus AMG and Maybach models. The V 300 and Vito 124 Tourer bring petrol to the vans too.
