Introduction

Paul Wright
Professional Consigner

The Mercedes-Benz S 350 BlueTec has become the best selling S-class in the UK - and it's not surprising why!

Launched in 2014, the new S-Class was labelled by some to probably be one of the best cars in the world, coming in at a fraction of the cost of a Bentley or Rolls-Royce. Ever since the S-Class was launched back in 1972, it was ahead of its time with technology, and since then it has continued to be developed with some of the most sophisticated technology available in a production car to this day. The S-Class has always been the flagship model for Mercedes, and after a newly designed W221 in 2005 was a huge success, this model, the W222 (sixth generation), has continued to follow in the footsteps of the great Mercedes S-Class. With a huge choice of specs and engines, it's easy to see why it is up there with some of the most luxurious vehicle manufacturers in the world.

This luxury 2014 Mercedes S 350 BlueTec has been purchased as the ultimate in comfort vehicle, the vendor is a long standing(40 years), Mercedes-Benz customer. Having had the car for just shy of a year, some changes in lifestyle mean it isn't getting the use intended and so the car is coming to market. With ~30,500 miles on the clock, and presented in excellent condition, we think you'll be hard pressed to find a better package at a reasonable price right now.

This auction listing was written from information supplied by Paul after meeting Baz the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Meet the owner

As a Mercedes-Benz customer for over 40 years, this S-class is definitely above and beyond any of the others I’ve owned!

Baz is a through and through Mercedes-Benz man. There has been the odd Jaguar thrown into the mix in his history of car ownership, but if he were a stick of rock, cut in half he would say Mercedes. Baz previously owned a 2-seater Mercedes, but he gave it to his daughter as he wanted something with a little more comfort, which led to the choice of the luxurious S-class 350.

A change in circumstances means the stunning Mercedes-Benz is now looking for a new keeper to care for and pamper it, just as Baz has. He will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have in the comments below.

Exterior

Mercedes-Benz certainly hit the nail on the head when designing the W222 - with styling similar to the Maybach it oozes luxury from every angle.

Wheels and Tyres

The original alloy wheels are diamond cut with an anthracite centre. These present in excellent condition showing no kerb marks at the time of our visit. If we were to be really picky, there is approximately one inch where there is some slight water ingress under the lacquer on the rear passenger side wheel, which looks to have been caused by a previous stone chip.

The tyres are all matching and do have a good amount of tread remaining. Please have a look at the media pack below to see the wheels and tyres in more detail.

Bodywork

This 2014 Mercedes S 350 is in excellent condition, and it is difficult to find any niggles/points to mention. There are no annoying dings to point out, the doors, boot and bonnet align as they should, and also open and close with a reassuring clunk.

Please take the time to look through the hi-resolution images we have taken for a more detailed look at the exterior.

Paint

Finished in "Iridium Silver", the paint finish on the S-class is in excellent condition and has clearly been well cared for. By his own admission, Baz has spent more time polishing it than driving it!

Usually the front gets the brunt of picking up a few stone chips, but we are confident to say you will be hard pushed to find any on the S 350. Looking around the car, you can count the number of faint scratches on one hand, and with a little paint correction polish these could easily be reduced, if not in fact removed. The points mentioned are being quite picky, the car really is in better condition than you would expect for the age, and how most of these S-Classes have been used.

Please take the time to fully assess the condition of the exterior. The images taken are from various angles and reflections to show off this stunning 2014 Mercedes S 350 at its best, as you would see it if you were standing there for yourselves.

Glass and Trim

The windows all appear to be in good order, with no noticeable scratches to mention. The chrome trim around the windows is in good order, with just light scratches in a couple of places.

The lights are in good order to the front and rear, and working as they should, giving off a bright LED light.

Interior

With dual 12” TFT screens in the dashboard, luxurious leather seats and more gadgets than you could imagine - this really is like your living room on wheels!

Seats and Carpets

Comfort is what Mercedes-Benz had in mind when they designed the interior of the S-class, and wow, did they succeed! The black leather electric seats are in excellent condition and working as they should with no signs of wear noticed. The rear seat doesn't look like it’s been sat in more than a couple of times.

The carpets are like new thanks to the factory fit Mercedes mats which are also in very good condition, showing no signs of excessive wear. Inside the boot is well presented, and lifting up the floor reveals the towing eye, original compressor and first aid kit.

Please see the interior gallery section for more detailed images.

Dashboard

The dashboard is finished in black leather to match the seats, with a walnut wooden fascia. Everything is as it should be, with no scuffs or marks noticed.

The dash display is in the way of dual 12” TFT screens, one displays the speed and revs, the other shows the media, and where you can control a whole host of electronic wizardry. The odometer on the Mercedes is showing a reading of just 30,410 miles.

Please see the interior gallery for more hi-resolution images.

Steering Wheel / Gear Stick

The leather steering wheel is in good condition with no wear to the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel. To the back are the flappy paddles, should you wish to use these to change gear in a more spirited driving manner. The rim of the wheel has some light shining to it, but shows no signs of excessive wear.

The gear stalk is mounted on the right hand side of the steering column, which can have reverse, neutral, drive and park selected from it.

Mechanics

3.0 litre V6 turbo diesel produces 254BHP and a whopping 457 lb-ft of torque, offering impressive acceleration and all round performance.

Engine and Gearbox

The 3.0 litre starts up just as it should, with no untoward noises coming from the engine bay, as you would expect. The engine sounds smooth unlike many modern diesels.

The gearbox is a 7-speed automatic, which can also be flicked into paddle controlled mode should you wish. The change is nice and smooth, even when the pedal is firmly pressed, the S-class picks up quickly with excellent torque.

Suspension and Brakes

Baz reports that the car is so smooth to drive. It handles the road excellently, and feels stable through any twisty bits you may come across, with firm feedback through the wheel.

Drilled discs at the front help bring the weighty 350 to a halt in a straight line, with no juddering reported to come through the pedal by Baz.

The Drive

The car glides along the road, it’s smooth, quiet and extremely comfortable. You do get some engine noise if your foot presses on the loud pedal, as you would expect, but even then it is softened from the amount of insulation Mercedes have fitted, giving you that perfect calm driving experience.

Electrics and Other

Everything in the Mercedes is reported by Baz to be working as it should. The S-class is nicely loaded with sat nav, sport or comfort settings, electric heated seats, parking sensors, reverse camera, the list goes on! One thing is for sure, there are enough gadgets to keep you entertained for a few hours working the gadgetry out as a new owner.

History and Paperwork

A low mileage example of the W222 S-Class, backed up with a full dealer service history, you'll be hard pressed to find a better example we think.

The Mercedes comes with a full main dealer history, backed up with some invoices and a list of services from Mercedes. The last service was carried out just a few hundred miles ago at 29,796.

The owners handbooks are present, together with the wallet. There is a valid MOT on the S350, which is valid until 14.07.2022. The personalised number plate will be switched back to an age related plate.

It’s safe to say that if circumstances had not changed for Baz he would certainly be keeping and enjoying ‘the most comfortable Mercedes he's ever owned’, the superb 2014 S350 Bluetec.

We’ve done all our usual seller checks including photo ID, V5 and also actioned an HPi check on the vehicle.

We've summarised our own view on the car based on information gained from the seller in the listing above, however, and as you can see, we go to great lengths to photograph and video the car in hi-resolution detail - this has been done for you to make your own assessment from the comfort of your sofa. So please sit back, have a cuppa and take your time to review everything on this listing in order to make your own assessment on the vehicle's condition. Viewings are also welcomed with all our listings, so please get in touch with us to arrange a suitable time - we just need to speak to you first and receive a valid photo ID before confirming.

If there's anything you're unsure about, no matter how small, then please first ask the owner in the comments area below before placing your bid/s, as bids can't be retracted and form a binding contract if you win the car - just like a traditional auction house.

Hi,
High bidder on the car, disregarding the unrealistic guide price, I notice it was advertised for £18,450 on 25 July 2021.
Car is currently booking at £17,000 – realistically, what are you looking for?
Thanks.
