I saw a car for sale Merc A class A180 year 2011 and imported in Malaysia 2014, with 62000km for RM 57,000.
Is this good model and year to buy ? I’m looking for safety and comfort and reliability. Another confusion, its shape looks like B180 to me. What should I look for before purchasing. How can I get engine, etc checked? Thanks in advance. Attached thumbnail(s)

I think you'd get more response in the car section but for that model, 2 things u might need to check though. The drive shafts and the transmission. Those seem to be popular issues
