Verdict
Grand monospace noté 5 étoiles à Euro NCAP en 2014, avec 1 030 litres de coffre en version 6 places (L'argus). Les retours publiés sont limités : CarVerif déconseille les millésimes 2014-2018 pour des faiblesses de freins et d'électronique et vise un exemplaire restylé 2019 de moins de 100 000 km ; getcarwise liste notamment la corrosion du berceau et la panne du frein de stationnement électrique.

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.

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution
- NEDC consumption (older, more optimistic than WLTP) as no WLTP figure is published: fuel is probably slightly underestimated.
- Insurance: brand average, as no average is published for this model.
- Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
- Maintenance: budget of a closely related model.
Calculation details (12,000 km a year)
- Fuel (diesel)€165
V 200 d version: combined consumption of 6.1 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.347 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.
6.1 × 1.15 × 2.347 € × 10 = €165

Value lost in a year by a typical example, from the average drop in valuation per year of age (yearly medians of listings), per month.
Inspection checklist
Mercedes-Benz Classe V III — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série les rappels effectués (freins, électronique).
- Regarder l'état du berceau et des points de fixation (corrosion) en le faisant monter sur un pont.
- Tester le frein de stationnement électrique et les freins à l'essai.
- Écouter la suspension : amortisseurs arrière, silentblocs, jeux.
- Viser moins de 100 000 km et, si possible, un exemplaire restylé 2019 (CarVerif) ; exiger le carnet d'entretien.
Questions to ask the seller
- Les rappels (freins, électronique) ont-ils été effectués ? Avez-vous l'attestation ?
- Le frein de stationnement électrique ou les amortisseurs ont-ils été remplacés ?
- Combien de places compte le véhicule et quelle est la longueur (Compact ou Long) ?
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.
