The checked examples averaged 103,000 miles, around 4,000 miles a year, and just over three previous keepers. Their average private-sale valuation was £1,900, so condition and history matter greatly.
This S280 suits buyers wanting comfort for business travel, special occasions or relaxed touring, rather than cheap commuting.

Check service history and condition carefully; age matters more than the badge alone.
