Evening all,
I had a look at a nearly new A class today with a view to possible purchase.
Registered April 2022 with 1400 miles on the clock. The van looked very clean and tidy as you would expect.
Paperwork from the hab check in April 2023 revealed that the dealer had identified water ingress on the two back corners of the roof and the rear near side floor of the garage. Dealer advised that all has been made good under warranty.
I had a very close look at the areas and all looks perfect, there is absolutely no evidence of any current issue.
Talking to the dealer he said that they see a surprising number of 1 year old vans (all manufacturers and models) with water leaks identified at their first hab check that have to be fixed under warranty.
Does this sound reasonable? If it is a fairly common issue and, once properly sorted, should be no cause for concern then I’ll continue looking at this van. Or should I run a mile?
I would appreciate your thoughts and experience.
Many thanks.
