Imported from Japan, stored in a garage since 2011
Comprehensive service history with detailed documentation
Recently serviced with new Gates drive belt kit fitted
MOT valid until February 2025
The Appeal
There are many reasons we Brits import cars from Japan. They're right-hand drive, have spent their lives away from salted roads, and are often some of the best-maintained vehicles you'll ever come across.
This 1998 Mercedes-Benz E320 arrived in Britain in 2009 and has been garage-stored since 2011. It shows just 45,027 miles on the clock and it has clearly been impeccably maintained.
We understand that it was serviced by the previous owner, an engineer, who documented every single repair/usage of the car in a dossier more than twenty pages long. It has recently received a new Gates drive belt kit (belt, tensioner, pulley), installed for peace of mind as it still had the original items. There have been three previous UK keepers and the vendor acquired the car in May 2024, covering around 600 miles since without encountering any issues.
Finished in the striking Aquamarine Blue with a Graphite/Anthracite interior and complete with an MOT valid until February 2025, this lovely E320 is ready to enjoy.
NOTE: Although based on the Shetland Islands, the vendor has stated that the vehicle can be delivered to Aberdeen FOC.
The vendor notes that the car is not entirely corrosion-free, but it is one of the cleanest W210s they've encountered - better than many cars a quarter of its age
Bodywork looks in very good order with a few imperfections (photographed)
Straight down both sides with well-fitting doors
MOT history only shows two advisories regarding rust which is the two front springs
Paintwork presents well with minor stone chips on the bonnet, a scrape on the lower front bumper, and a scratch on the passenger side mirror
Interior is very smart for its age with working electric memory seats, sunroof, rear electric blind, and air conditioning
