Approved Pre-Owned Vehicle Warranty
When we go to such lengths to comprehensively check every Approved Pre-Owned Van and People Mover, it should come as no surprise that all qualifying vehicles have an Approved Pre-Owned factory warranty. This is only available from an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealership.
When you purchase an Approved Pre-Owned Mercedes-Benz Van or People Mover, you receive a minimum 1 year or the option of 2 year , 200,000 kilometre, nationwide factory backed warranty.
The Mercedes-Benz Approved Pre-Owned warranty offers coverage against failure of most mechanical components, as well as roadside assistance covering a range of breakdowns and situations almost anywhere in Australia. To give complete peace of mind, this warranty offers cover, support and benefits that only Mercedes-Benz can provide.

How do I get assistance to correct a manufacturing defect?
Obviously we want to get you back on the road as quickly and as effortlessly as we can.
- Present your vehicle to an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer immediately or as soon as practicable after a defect arises.
- You must also present a copy of the Warranty certificate provided to you at delivery together with your vehicle’s Service Booklet.
- Repair work under the Warranty must be carried out by an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer using Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts.
- You must permit the authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer to fully inspect your vehicle. Some repairs, diagnosis or replication of the defect may not be possible with only one inspection, so you may need to make more than one visit to an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer.
- Any parts that have been replaced as part of a Warranty repair will become the property of Mercedes-Benz.
- If your vehicle requires emergency repair work and you are unable to deliver your vehicle to an authorised Mercedes-Benz dealer, please contact Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance on 1800 807 700.
