The Mercedes-Benz Approved Used range of vans are all now available up to six years old, with a maximum mileage of 150,000 miles. The vans come with a full service history and have to meet a multi-point pre-sale check to qualify, with outstanding finance, theft and insurance write-off checked.
Approved Used vans come with a 12-month MOT, 12-month insurance-based ‘wear and tear’ warranty (which can be extended), and are serviced as required if there is less than 5,000 miles to the next service. The corrosion warranty is renewed and there is a minimum of 5mm tyre tread depth remaining, as well as the vehicle benefitting from a full valet.
All Approved Used vans benefit from a £500 deposit contribution too. In addition, currently selected Approved Used 14-plate Citans are now available from £29 per week with a £500 deposit contribution and subject to a four-year 8.4% APR representative Agility agreement, based on 10,000 miles per year, for vehicles financed until 30 September 2016.
MobiloVan, free UK and Europe-wide roadside assistance is also reactivated, offering drivers up to 30 years roadside assistance from date of registration, with an average attendance time of under 60 minutes and roadside repair rate of 80%.
Mick Glover, head of vehicle remarketing at Mercedes-Benz Vans, said: “We understand that our customers want to enjoy the benefits of owning a Mercedes-Benz van, and it is our job to ensure they are in the right vehicle for their requirements and budget.
“We have redeveloped our Approved Used criteria to better serve the needs of van operators – it is very clear exactly what standards all of our Approved Used vans now adhere to, and enables customers to have a broader spectrum of vehicles that could better suit their needs.
“We are extremely proud of our award-winning vehicle offering, and with our unwavering focus on keeping our customers on the road with solutions like free MobiloVan roadside assistance, GeniuneParts, and an out-of-hours UK-wide Dealer Network, we are proving ourselves once again as the commercial partner of choice, not just another van manufacturer.”
