Verdict

Buy with care

Ludospace 5 places commercialisé depuis 2022, au coffre de 520 litres selon Caroom. Les retours publiés sur sa fiabilité manquent : seuls deux rappels de 2024-2025 (embrayage et feux) sont documentés, par un agrégateur non officiel. Faites vérifier au numéro de châssis si votre exemplaire est concerné. Je n'ai pas trouvé de note Euro NCAP propre à ce modèle.

You are importing the car to:

Import penalty (malus) in France

  • The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
  • For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
  • The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history

HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults

Recent model: not enough hindsight yet (years, mileage) for faults to be publicly documented, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.

Manufacturer recalls

Manufacturer recall campaigns, fixed free of charge at a dealer:

  • Plateau de pression d'embrayage non conforme (rappel 2024-2025) (1.3 essence 102, T 180 essence 131, 1.5 diesel 95, 1.5 diesel 116)
  • Feux de croisement et clignotants défaillants (rappel 2024) (1.3 essence 102, T 180 essence 131, 1.5 diesel 95, 1.5 diesel 116)

See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Mercedes-Benz Classe T”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.

  • Maintenance: budget of a closely related model.
  • Depreciation estimated at 12% of the median price a year, as no year-by-year valuation is usable.

Fuel (petrol)€167

T 180 essence 131 version: combined consumption of 6.8 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.14 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.

Petrol price (SP95-E10): French national average on 7 October 2026.

Insurance€100

Average monthly premium published for this model by insurance comparison sites (comprehensive cover when stated). Your premium depends on your profile.

Depreciation€319

Inspection checklist

Things to check

  • Faire vérifier au numéro de châssis, chez un concessionnaire Mercedes, les rappels de l'embrayage et de l'éclairage (exemplaires fabriqués en 2024).
  • Sur un exemplaire de 2024-2025, tester l'embrayage : le débrayage doit être franc, sans point dur.
  • Contrôler à l'essai les feux de croisement et les clignotants.
  • Contrôler les portes latérales coulissantes et leurs rails.
  • Exiger le carnet d'entretien et les factures de révision.

Questions to ask the seller

  • Les rappels d'embrayage et d'éclairage ont-ils été traités ? Avez-vous les attestations ?
  • Quelle est la motorisation exacte et la boîte (manuelle ou automatique) ?
  • Les révisions ont-elles été faites en réseau Mercedes, avec factures ?

Test-drive tip: read the fault codes

A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.

Before you buy: check and equip

Check the history

Before paying, check the administrative status (lien, objection, declared claims) and the mileage recorded at the roadworthiness test.

Read fault codes

An OBD scanner plugged in under the steering wheel shows stored fault codes, even with warning lights off: useful during the test drive.

Parts and maintenance

Compare prices of parts for the Mercedes-Benz Classe T I (timing, brakes, filters) to estimate the repairs to plan for.

Insure the car

Insurance prices vary widely from one model to another: get a quote before signing.
