Mercedes-Benz Viano

[Mr.Nobody]

A friend is looking to buy one a Viano he doesn’t fancy the traditional MPVs. Have any members had one?

Bought an early 2006 3.0 CDI earlier in the year. Lwb with the tray table, 7 seats, power doors, parktronic front and rear. Just retrofitted cruise to it.

Biggest watch out is for clocking and ex taxi use. All early ones are full fat tax so may as well get the V6. Many are in rough shape. Buy on condition and evidence of money spent over everything else.

That looks very nice. He’s looking at the 3.0 CDI probably best all round. What model variant is the one you have? He’s seen an Ambient and Avantgarde.
