Look under the trunk lid after opening the rear hatch. Google can be your best friend

Yeah, and you drive on the wrong side of the road as well LOLOL

I dunno bud, I did a Google search and that's what popped up. I know that initially, the Adblue cap for Mercs was in the....boot, as you say. I think they transitioned to the gas cap compartment in 2012.
Either that, or you think you have a diesel when you don't LOL

Appologieze to OP.
It will be funny to buy diesel and it's actually a gas car. Please make sure before you go to refuel the car.

Post your VIN.

Is it possible the previous owner removed the adblue container and installed a spare tire in its place?? From what I read, the 2011 did not have a spare tire due to the adblue tank being there. Just a thought. I have a 2014 Bluetec so have no personal experience with the 2011.

Another video is here

I’m now thinking this ml has been labels wrong, as I have just bought it I will have to wait on Reg document coming through to check what it says. There is most defanetly no adblue filler and no menu option to find adblue level.

Laughing myself. Thought I knew a lot about Marcs and a car labled as bluetec should be an adblue car.

Going to to ask for some money back as was advertised wrong lol
