Mercedes-Benz is holding an Approved Used event across its network from October 10 to 18.

The initiative is linked to a free two-year service plan offer to incentivise retail customers, and will help to clear some of the part-exchanges taken in during last month's plate-change campaign.

Any customer who purchases a Mercedes-Benz Approved Used vehicle during the promotion will benefit from a complimentary 2 year service plan. AMG models and the Viano are excluded

Phil Parry, Mercedes-Benz sales development manager ,said: “The Approved Used scheme enables customers to purchase a used Mercedes-Benz with the reassurance that the vehicle has been fully prepared by Mercedes-Benz. Nobody can prepare a Mercedes-Benz vehicle like Mercedes-Benz.”
