Our Verdict
A high-specification luxury flagship that offers exceptionally low mileage and a remarkably clean MOT record. While the spec is attractive, the high engine displacement and complex air suspension require a significant contingency fund for potential repairs.
When inspecting this S-Class, your first priority is verifying the full service history. Given the 4663cc engine, ensure that strict oil change intervals have been followed to Mercedes specifications to protect the V8 powerplant. Pay close attention to the electronic air suspension; check for any sagging when parked or unusual noises during operation, as these components are expensive to replace.
Because this is the AMG Line trim, inspect the low-profile tyres and wheels for uneven wear or curb damage, as replacement costs for this size are significant. Test every electronic 'Executive' level feature, including the massage seats, climate control, and infotainment system, to ensure no hidden faults are present, as electronic failures in these cars can be costly to rectify.
Running costs for this S 500 are substantial. The large 4.7L petrol engine is not designed for economy, likely averaging 18-22 mpg in real-world conditions. Annual road tax will be high due to the engine size, and insurance groups for this model are typically in the higher brackets.
Mtenance is also significantly higher than a standard hatchback. Parts for the S-Class A222 carry a premium price. You should budget for high-quality fuel and keep a dedicated fund for specialist maintenance visits to handle the complex systems that define this luxury saloons.
The MOT history shows no failures, which is a fantastic sign, but it does not account for mechanical wear between tests. Inspect the engine bay for any signs of oil leaks, which can occur on high-mileage V8 engines. Check the cooling system for any signs of coolant loss, as these large engines are sensitive to overheating.
Pay close attention to the suspension; the AMG Line suspension can be hard on control arms and bushings if driven on poor UK roads. Additionally, check the interior for any leaks from the sunroof or panoramic glass, as the rubber seals can become brittle over a decade, even with low mileage.
This 2016 Mercedes-Benz S 500 L AMG Line Executive presents as a rare example, having covered just 62,381 miles over its ten-year life. The MOT history is exemplary, showing three consecutive passes without any failures or advisories, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained. As a 4.7L V8 model, it represents the pinnacle of comfort, though buyers must be prepared for the associated costs of a flagship vehicle.
The A222 S-Class generation is generally considered robust, though the complex electronics and air suspension are known potential failure points over time.
