MERCEDES-BENZ V CLASS (1996-03) V230 5DR MPV 2.3I TREND
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The MERCEDES-BENZ V CLASS (1996-03) V230 5DR MPV 2.3I TREND is a sizeable five-door people carrier, a practical alternative to an estate car or large family hatchback rather than a typical SUV. It offers Mercedes-Benz comfort and an upmarket feel, with room for passengers and everyday luggage.
mycarcheck.com records four checks across three distinct VINs, a small sample rather than a market-wide picture. The data shows an average private-sale value of £1,400, average recorded mileage of 107,000 miles and annual mileage of 6,000. Cars averaged 4.25 previous keepers, so checking each vehicle’s history is worthwhile.
The V230 suits families and group travel, offering flexible passenger space, but its size is less handy in tight streets. Against the Volkswagen Sharan and Ford Galaxy, it brings Mercedes-Benz’s premium image to the MPV class. At this age, condition matters: check service and ownership records and inspect carefully before buying this older Mercedes MPV.
Before buying a V-Class, check for outstanding finance, write-offs, hidden damage, mileage discrepancies or theft. Enter the reg now—skipping a check could leave you with a costly problem.
