Yep, like those. It's no Berlingo, though. The interior looks mucking fental.

I quite like the "MF" interior though.

Bit OTT for me. It's getting silly.

Would it take the miles though? ( rhetorical question of course )

I don't see why not. Why would you care, anyway? Company car.
I know a Mercedes which didn't take its (very few) miles very well.

How many miles were on yours at the end?

132k.
Or, to put it another way, "nothing for a Mercedes..."

"My" 2016 one has 127,000 on it already. It had a "health check" at the last service and according to the MB dealer it was absolutely fine. In truth, if I thought it could/would last forever it really does do everything I want. It's not as quick as my old 250 but you get used to what you have I suppose, and it has never failed to keep up with the traffic. It has averaged 51 mpg over the past 50,000 or so miles since I reset the computer, and the bottom line is, I just like it. Just the frigging bik that annoys me more than pains me.

Dude. My Honda has a set of three proper analogue dials, front and centre. It's well old-fashioned. That 508 dash makes me want my Mk1 Escort back.

Oh my gawd no, no pick ups. Just no. You can't do mega miles in one of those. My step father has a Navara, it's agricultural. Just don't. Hideous. Better off with a Berlingo.
Also they're Renaults made out of plastic now. Even disguising it as an X Class Merc doesn't help. Actually, I don't think I've seen one of those yet. I think people are twigging the scam, finally.
FIAT Fullback, maybe. ;-)
People who drive pickups (especially VW Runamok) round my way seem to be doing so with zero commercial need, therefore it's all about image for them. Which is brilliant, because to most of us they look like utter dickwads driving them around the suburbs.
Am artist I know who carries a lot of equipment around, but also needs his vehicle to do school runs and family duties, just bought a FIAT Doblo MPV. Very pleased with it.

There must be other, better, less agricultural, commercial options, with similar savings to be had. You know, vehicles designed to be driven on ROADS and in TOWNS.
Astravan, for example.
