Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution given the h
When inspecting this coach, pay close attention to the interior condition, specifically the areas noted in the 2026 MOT, such as the toilet panel and picnic tables. These items are not merely cosmetic; they have been flagged as potential hazards to passenger safety or clothing, which could lead to liability issues if left unaddressed. Ensure all emergency exits and doors operate smoothly, as damage to these components is a recurring theme in the vehicle's history.
Verify the maintenance schedule for the 10.7-litre diesel engine. The MOT history highlights recurring oil leaks, which are common in high-mileage commercial vehicles but require immediate investigation to prevent engine damage. Request all service logs to confirm that the oil leaks identified in the 2025 tests were rectified with permanent repairs rather than temporary fixes.
Running a coach of this size is significantly more expensive than a standard passenger vehicle. Fuel consumption for a 10.7-litre engine is substantial, and you should anticipate high costs for AdBlue and specialist commercial diesel maintenance. Insurance will require a commercial policy tailored to the vehicle's specific usage, whether for private hire or public transport.
Maintenance costs will be high due to the cost of heavy-duty parts and the labour required for a vehicle of this scale. You should budget for ongoing repairs to bodywork, lighting systems, and interior fixtures, as these have proven to be recurring failure points in recent years. Estimated annual running costs, excluding major capital repairs, will likely exceed £15,000-£20,000 depending on annual mileage.
Focus your physical inspection on the lighting systems and bodywork. The vehicle has failed MOTs due to incorrect headlamp aim and fog light issues, suggesting the electrical and alignment systems may be prone to degradation. Check the integrity of all external lamps and ensure the dashboard tell-tales for fog lights are fully functional.
Additionally, inspect the engine bay thoroughly for signs of the oil leaks noted in the 2025 MOT records. Look for staining on the underside of the engine and check if the leak has contaminated any surrounding belts or hoses. Finally, test every passenger seat, picnic table, and the toilet partition to ensure no sharp edges or loose panels present a risk to passengers, as these were specifically highlighted in the most recent test.
This 2017 Mercedes Tourismo has covered 331,897 miles and shows a history of both mechanical and interior-focused MOT issues. While it has passed its most recent test, the record includes ongoing concerns regarding oil leaks and interior safety defects. Given the nature of the vehicle and its intensive usage, thorough professional inspection is required before purchase.
There is no aggregate reliability data available for the Mercedes Tourismo; however, high-mileage commercial coaches of this type typically require intensive, ongoing preventative maintenance.
