The Appeal

The W204 is one of the last of Mercedes' engineering-led cars, models renowned for their reliability and build quality. They make great modern classics, equally suited to weekend touring and daily driving.

This C180 is one of the best examples of these cars we've seen in a while. It's the sort of W204 that only occasionally turns up: low mileage, few owners, really well presented and a staggering service record. The silver metallic paintwork and hard-wearing black interior are all in good order, with just a few tiny cosmetic marks to note in the photos.

The reliable 155bhp 1.6L M271 four-cylinder petrol engine has covered just 54,690 miles. The digital service record and Mercedes main dealer invoices are all present in a folder of paperwork. The MOT runs to October 2027 with no advisories.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights under EU consumer protection law do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's own Terms and Conditions..

✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are for guidance only, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ GST is included in the buyer's fee. GST may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, so we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status, so it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.

✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection

or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.

✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalised or heritage vehicle registration is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
