Mercedes Approved Used Cars Programme

Comprehensive multi-point checks

All Approved Used Mercedes Cars go through a thorough multi-point checking process, in order to ensure that everything is in perfect order, working as would be expected, and meets the meticulous standards of both the Manufacturer and Sinclair. The checks take into account the interior and exterior of the car, including under the hood and also when being driven – and are carried out by a qualified Mercedes-Benz technician who knows these cars like the back of their hand.

Vehicle history check

The history and provenance of your Approved Mercedes matters, and as such we run checks to ensure that the vehicle isn’t registered as stolen or an insurance write off. We also check to see if the car has any outstand finance, and provide a certificate to confirm that the chassis and reg no exactly match those held by the DVLA¹.

Vehicle mileage check

When buying an Approved Used Mercedes-Benz you can be confident that the reported mileage is genuine, as Sinclair supply confirmation of recorded mileage with every second hand Mercedes that we sell.
