not long enough
I still do a double take when I see tag axles and Merc badges , didn’t realise they had been around for so long already

It does seem a small engine for a lot of weight but Fiat seem to cope so I guess it’s OK

Looks nice 👍

Looks like a reasonable price. Well specified, as are most of them. 4300 miles on a 3 year old van, shouldn’t really be any major problems with it (registered November 21).

If that’s what you want, it’s got to be worth a look. The dealer seems to have reduced it recently from £157,500

It would be a challenge to find one for less money.

The sticker in the window shows it at £169`k, so I suspect it's been on sale for quite a while :unsure:

Ask the dealer if it has had any paint work, it might just be the photos, but the front right hand side looks quite a bit darker than the side panel

I thought that, too :unsure:

I'm getting a video walk round, tomorrow afternoon, so I'll ask the question (y)

So did I

I’d say it’s had the wing painted as the bonnet and side look the same

if it has it’s poor match but can be rectified

Same with the (off-)white ones as well. Just look at more pictures of different vehicles on Autotrader.

I agree, a while ago had a Honda Civic, got run into at the rear. When the car came back from the garage it was like the photo, I said that I would not accept it like that- the car was less than a year old.
They took it back and this time it was perfect. I asked why couldn't they do it right the first time and just got a shrug of shoulders in reply.....
Cheers, Dave

They can get it right if they want to with not too much trouble

I’d reject that instantly if it were mine or buying it
