Where a diesel Mercedes-Benz V-Class most often hides trouble
- AdBlue / SCR system. Where fitted, we check the emissions system and any stored faults that can fail an inspection or trigger limp mode.
- EGR valve. We look for the rough running, warning lights and soot that a sticking EGR valve brings.
- Dual-mass flywheel. A shudder on take-up or rattle at idle can mean a dying dual-mass flywheel — expensive, and easy to miss on a short test.
- DPF and regeneration. The diesel particulate filter is checked for clogging and forced regenerations, a common and costly issue on city-driven diesels.
- Injectors and glow plugs. Smoke colour, start-up and live data help us judge injector wear and glow-plug condition.
