1995 Mercedes-Benz V-Class V230 review from Spain
"Buy a Vito instead"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electronic central module failed in the first year.
Suspension.
Leaking roof.
Unable to load over 500 kilograms.
General comments?
If you buy a Vito instead, you get the same car for half the money. Only difference: seats do not weigh over 245 kilograms, so you will actually be able to seat seven persons inside!
