How much factory warranty is left on your Metris?
Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
Mercedes-Benz Metris factory warranty
New Mercedes-Benz vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 4 years or 50,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a Mercedes-Benz dealer.
The Metris is no longer sold new in the US, so most examples are close to or beyond the end of factory coverage.
Why body style matters
Vans carry people and cargo, and the parts that wear are often the ones unique to the body style: power sliding doors, the power liftgate, and rear heating and air conditioning.
Turbocharged engine
A turbocharger spins at very high speed and runs hot. Turbo failure, wastegate and boost-control faults, intercooler leaks and carbon build-up on direct-injection engines are the common problems. Check that the turbocharger is named in the contract, because some basic powertrain plans leave it out.
About Mercedes-Benz
Mercedes-Benz covers everything for 4 years or 50,000 miles and nothing after. Air suspension, turbochargers, mild-hybrid electrical systems and infotainment are the usual high-cost items on older cars.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Mercedes-Benz Metris eligible for extended coverage?
Eligibility depends on the vehicle's year and mileage, and each provider sets its own limits. Because the Metris is no longer sold new, older examples may qualify only for powertrain-level plans.
Which coverage level fits a Mercedes-Benz Metris?
If the turbocharged engine and transmission are your main concern, a powertrain plan covers them. If you also want air conditioning, electrical parts and electronics covered, look at a mid-level or comprehensive plan.
How much does a Mercedes-Benz Metris extended warranty cost?
Price depends on the model year, mileage, coverage level, deductible and your ZIP code. Request a quote with your details for an actual price.
