What we focus on with the hybrid Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e
- 12V system. A flat or weak 12V battery causes baffling faults on hybrids; we verify it is healthy.
- Battery cooling. Vents and cooling for the high-voltage pack are checked, as blocked cooling shortens battery life.
- Regenerative braking. We test braking feel and look for the uneven wear that hybrid systems can mask.
- Inverter and converter. Power electronics are scanned for stored faults and overheating history.
- High-voltage battery. We read the hybrid battery data for state of health and weak cells, since a tired pack is the costliest part to replace.

Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e: frequently asked questions
How much does a pre-purchase inspection of the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e cost?
An on-site inspection of the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e starts at 35,999 Ft for the Standard package, where you attend in person and we go through the findings with you at the car. The Digital Inspection Package costs 39,999 Ft and is carried out without you there, with the results sent as photographs, video and a written report by email. The inspection itself is identical in both, the call-out fee within Budapest is included, and there are no hidden extras.
What do your inspectors find most often on the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e?
Every used car carries its own weak spots, and the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e is no exception. We pay particular attention to 12V system, battery cooling and regenerative braking. None of these shows from the driver's seat, which is why buyers who search for independent car inspection before buying Budapest really need an on-site check — and our Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e inspection covers every one.
Do you read the fault codes on the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e?
Yes — a full on-board diagnostic scan is part of every inspection. On the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e we capture both live and stored fault codes, including ones a seller may have cleared shortly before your viewing, and we read live data to catch systems that are struggling before any warning light appears. On electric and hybrid versions this also opens up the battery and charging data.
Can you check the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e's service history and mileage?
Yes. We cross-check the VIN across the car and its documents, review the service records for plausibility, and compare the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e's indicated mileage against its physical wear. A reading that does not match the condition, or a history with unexplained gaps, is flagged so you are protected against an altered odometer or a misrepresented car.
What happens after you have inspected the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e?
You receive your English report — handed to you at the car with the Standard package, or by email with photos and video under the Digital Inspection Package. It sets out every finding, graded by how much it should concern you, with a plain recommendation. From there the decision on the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e is entirely yours, made on evidence rather than assumption.
Is your inspection of the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e genuinely independent?
Completely. We work only for you, the buyer — we do not sell cars and we take nothing from the seller. Our report on the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e reflects only what we actually find, whether that lets the sale go ahead with confidence or stops you walking into an expensive mistake.
People search for pre purchase mechanic — is that what you do for the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e?
Yes. Pre purchase mechanic is simply another way of describing what we do for the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e: an independent, on-site inspection before you buy. Our inspector comes to the car, works through the full checklist and the diagnostics, and explains every finding in English. Plenty of buyers also look for buy car inspection, and that is the very same service.
Do you offer independent car inspection before buying Budapest when buying the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e?
We do. For the Mercedes-Benz CLE 300e, independent car inspection before buying Budapest means a complete, on-the-spot pre-purchase inspection carried out wherever the car is parked in Budapest, with the result reported in English.
