2024 Mercedes-Benz SL SL43 MHEV AMG PREMIUM PLUS in Hinckley

What this car costs to run

Modelled over 7,100 miles a year (DfT National Travel Survey, England). Ranges, not quotes — every figure here is an estimate.

Vehicle tax (VED)£200 standard rate, or £640 if its list price when new was over £40,000 — the £440 Expensive Car Supplement applies until the car is six years old. At this asking price it may well have listed above that. The list price is not on the listing — ask the dealer

£200–£640

FuelAbout 49 mpg — the middle real-world figure for the 11 similar-sized hybrid engines in Autoza's economy data, not this car's own figure — at 174.1p a litre

£950–£1,350

Insurance (UK average)The UK average premium actually paid for comprehensive cover, £566 in Q2 2026 (ABI) — an average across every driver, postcode and car, not a quote for this one. Yours turns on your age, postcode and record and on the car’s insurance group. A 17–20-year-old new driver typically pays more than this average: see our guide to the cheapest cars to insure as a new driver, or the ABI figures

£566

ServicingFrom a minor service (£300–£500) to a major one (£600–£1,100) on a Mercedes, from Autoza's own servicing estimates by make, not survey data. Routine servicing only — excludes repairs and tyres

£300–£1,100

MOT testFirst MOT due in 2027, then up to £54.85 a year (the legal maximum)
