do my air filters need changing yet

[Trustmeimadoctor]

What's use of a full main dealer history I ask you!

Every car I've bought that had a complete or almost complete service history had cabin filters like that. Not always the engine air-filter, but the cabin filters have never been changed on any of them, despite the fact they should have been done 3 or 4 times at least by the time I got hold of them.

They are the engine air filters I dare not look at the cabin filter!

Fingers crossed I get a bit better mpg now

Are they difficult to change? I ask as they're usually pretty easy to change. If it's a genuine dealer history that's really taking the piss in my opinion.

I have never done them before obviously but with no guide even I've done them in an hour even with a call to my dad to show him the mess so a main dealer mach 20-30 mins max
Yes it has a full main dealer merc history reading merc I think it is

When was the last reported service?

[Trustmeimadoctor]

85k now at 96 seems it's not been done since 43k looking at the ticks in the books

Looks that way. You should see a decent improvement in efficiency.

Change them, they are not terribly expensive. The loose dust isn't that much of a problem because it's easy to blow out, the oily gunk is worse. My company vehicles air filter gets much worse than that and needs cleaning every day, but it is meant to be cleaned out. Even so, it gets a new one every other service.

Don't worry they are changed
