Credov's researched list of the 2 faults the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet A207 is known for (2009–2016), 0 of them serious or costly. Each one says what to look for when you check the car, so you can spot it before you buy. Not every car has these faults: they are the ones worth checking on this model.
What to look for: Look inside each headlight and tail light for condensation droplets, and check every LED segment lights up.
Why it matters: Trapped moisture can kill xenon igniters and control modules, and a failed LED headlight unit on a facelift car costs thousands to replace, so this should be weighed into the price.
What to look for: Look closely at the armrest, console buttons and climate switches for peeling finish, and test the COMAND knob.
Why it matters: Individually the parts are cheap, but a tatty console lowers the car's appeal and resale price, and some switch panel replacements need dealer coding to work correctly.
