Mercedes-Benz of Oxford is holding an Approved Used event which offers buyers a free two-year service plan and a warranty.

Running until Sunday 18 October, the dealership hopes the event will generate interest among local motorists.

Dealer principal Jon Wakefield said: “There has been a shortage in supply of pre-owned cars due to companies delaying the replacement of their fleets and the success of the Government scrappage scheme.

“However September was a fantastic month for us in terms of new car sales as customers took advantage of the exceptional offers available at present and this has resulted in us taking some superb vehicles in part-exchange.”
