This generation of C-Class has generally held up well, not being blighted by the rust they have previously been associated with. That said, rattles are commonplace on the interior (which really should have been better screwed together) and the four-cylinder petrols can suffer from turbo and thermostat failure. Both are expensive to rectify. For more information, read our used buying guide.
Can the C-Class, our perennial runner-up in the compact saloon category, finally reach the top spot?
