Mercedes-Benz M-Class (2012 - 2015) ML250 CDi BlueTEC AMG Line (Premium) 5d Auto Owner Review

Bought this as an approved MB from a MB main dealer almost year ago. Hence paid a little over the odds but worth it for the peace of mind of Main Dealer Warranty for a year. It's big, solid and comfortable with a good spec. The only thing missing from this particular model is the self parking thing, although it has rear view camera and parking 'guide' info. This one was obviously a lease deal for it's first three years, then it did only 50 miles last year so presumably was laid up in some mega parking facility for a year. Mileage still very low, partly due to COVIDS this year. It has has full MB Servicing from new which is now throwing me a dilemma. After 1 year of ownership its soon due a service and MOT soon (even though I have only done 3-4k this year). The price of Main Dealer servicing is horrendous! I am being quoted £992 for a service and MoT at the place I bought it. Halford's quoted me £237 for the same thing. Don't like to break the Main Dealer servicing sequence - but at that price!!
