The MERCEDES-BENZ S CLASS (2009-14) S65L 4DR SALOON LWB 6.0 BI-TURBO 630 EU5 AMG AUTO5 is a long-wheelbase luxury saloon for the UK’s top executive-car market. It blends limousine comfort with remarkable AMG performance and spacious rear seating, rather than serving as a typical practical family car for discerning buyers. mycarcheck.com has recorded just four checks across three distinct VINs, so these figures are indicative rather than a broad market picture. The checked cars averaged £23,600 in private-sale value, 44,000 miles and 3,000 miles a year; recorded keeper history averaged 3.25 previous keepers from the vehicles checked on the site. Best suited to buyers seeking a chauffeur car or long-distance cruiser, the S65L offers comfort, generous rear space and thrilling acceleration. Its AMG character sets it apart from BMW 7 Series and Audi A8, but fuel, maintenance and repair costs can be substantial; arrange an independent history check before buying.
