Mercedes owner could scrap car as new battery will cost £15k

Mercedes owner Ranjit Singh has been left "horrified" after discovering a battery for his eight-year-old car will set him back £15,000.

Ranjit believed he was doing the right thing when he bought a second-hand Mercedes-Benz hybrid, thinking its lower CO2 emissions would be good for the environment.

But he was shocked when the battery on the eight-year-old car failed recently and he was quoted £15,000 for a replacement - more than the current value of the car itself, reports LeicestershireLive.
