Compare Mercedes interim service and MOT quotes from specialist garages

In 1886, Karl Benz - the founder of Mercedes Benz - introduced what is often considered the first petrol-powered car to the world. The Benz Patent Motor Car was born, and with it began a legacy that continues today.

Style, luxury and innovation are the driving forces behind Mercedes. Not only was it one of the first car manufacturers to put brakes and suspension on all four wheels, but it was also the first to introduce safety crumple zones.

Cars by Mercedes have appeared on the big screen numerous times, from the S-Class used by Jason Statham in The Transporter to escape a gunfight to the 1969 280 SE Convertible driven by Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones's Diary.

Booking an MOT and interim service together could save you time and money. Some garages may offer a discount on the usual price of an MOT, and the service will help prevent issues later down the line.

Most manufacturers recommend you book an interim service - sometimes referred to as a minor service - every 6,000 miles. Usually, this involves a check of your car's fluids, engine, battery, tyres and lights. It is less comprehensive than a full service.

During a car interim service and MOT, the MOT test should be completed first, so there is less work to do during the service and no checks are repeated.

When searching for the best MOT and interim service prices, you should also consider the number of checks offered in the service and whether you can get a discount.
