Question 1

Which used Mercedes S-Class generation should I buy?

Accepted Answer

A W222 from the 2017 facelift onwards has newer inline six-cylinder diesel and petrol engines and updated driver assistance. The W223 from 2020 adds MBUX with a large central touchscreen and, as the S 580e, a plug-in with a much bigger battery.

Question 2

How much road tax does a Mercedes S-Class pay in the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

A lot, mainly because it is heavy: the road tax rises with massa rijklaar, a diesel S 350d or S 400d adds the diesel surcharge, and your province's opcenten come on top. An S-Class first used 40 or more years ago pays none.

Question 3

Does an imported S-Class pay BPM in the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

Yes, once, on its CO₂ figure with a surcharge for a diesel, reduced for depreciation; a V8 or V12 has a high figure to start from. At 17 years and 10 months the BPM falls to nothing, which an early W221 has already reached.

Question 4

What goes wrong on a used Mercedes S-Class?

Accepted Answer

The Airmatic air suspension is standard, and on older cars its struts and compressor wear out; a car that sits low after standing overnight needs a look. Check too that every electronic feature works, as repairs on this car are costly.
