Just bought a 67 plate A45. It’s all seems fine apart from the steering wheel seems a little worn for the 14k miles it should have , anyone else have this issue with the alcantara steering wheel? Is there any way to verify the mileage is correct? MB offer a mileage plausibility check has anyone had this done?

Yeah that needs cleaning and some love. Then it will look like new again.



Follow the cleaning instructions on the bottle and that wheel will look way better

For me the wheel looks shiny as it’s covered in sweat and hand oils. I can’t comment on the mileage being correct but you could deffo make the wheel look much less grimey.
If you Google cleaning Alcantara you’ll see there’s various recommendations. I think some use baby wipes, haven’t done so myself but, you could see if they make it any better.
