"Buy one if you want a Mercedes, but do not expect Mercedes car quality"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

On occasion the car refuses to start, it has been established that it is something to do with the automatic transmission, but a permanent cure has not been forthcoming.

General comments?

The car is a van, a luxurious van, but a van nevertheless.

It has an enormous turning circle, making life difficult in tight parking spaces.

It is only the Mercedes badge that makes it the price it is.

V Class 2.2 cdi Ambieanti purchased from new August 99 and now on 300k mileage. Look out for drive shafts at 200k (cost £600.00) and replacement injectors at 250k (cost £2,000.00) Only other faults have been in the heating system and having to have the condenser on the climatic control replaced. Quentin.
