Highlights

• Japanese import with low mileage and well-documented provenance
• Freshly registered in the UK in January 2026, only 171 miles covered since
• Fully loaded specification including BOSE sound system, heated steering wheel, and Bi-Xenon headlamps
• Converted to MPH with left-hand traffic headlamp configuration
• MOT valid to January 2027

The Appeal

As the 2000s loomed, the C215 generation arrived with it. This was a new age for Mercedes-Benz, with plenty of technology and refinement being packed into a familiar luxury coupe. There was still a touch of familiarity to the styling, still had a familiar V8 powerplant, and ultimately made for a very capable car.

This particular example is a Japanese import, having arrived in the UK in December 2025 and been freshly registered in January 2026. With just 27,444 miles from new and only 171 miles covered in the UK, it benefits from Japan's renowned culture of motoring, where vehicles are meticulously maintained and driven on high-quality, salt-free roads. The result is that Japanese cars are amongst the most desirable foreign imports out there.
This handsome car has been converted to MPH and comes with electronic service records, two keys, and a V5C, with plenty of originality from top-to-bottom and a very impressive options list. It sits on four matching Bridgestone tyres in good condition, with no warning lights on the dashboard and the next service not due until 31,000 miles. With an MOT valid to January 2027, it's reportedly ready and waiting to drive away.
