Hi
A very nice looking car. Has the gearbox been serviced? Are there any issues with the sub frame - has it been recently inspected?
What is the RFL?
Many thanks

Hi I think RFL means road fund license, I
May be totally wrong unless someone out there knows. The Mercedes just gone through its mot with no issues I’m assuming that the subframe would have been checked as part of the mot . Regarding the automatic gearbox it’s not been serviced while I have owned the car and operates very smoothly ,

Yes RFL means Road Fund Licence
The sub frame isn't checked at the MOT as the testers cannot remove anything so as to fully view the subframe

Didn’t know Mercedes had an issue with the subframe I’ve owned three of these cars in the past with no problems, thanks Colin

Yes its a very common problem unfortunately.
How much is the Road Fund Licence please?
