The ADAC breakdown statistics determine which Mercedes-Benz models are the most reliable and which have broken down most – a good help when buying a used Mercedes-Benz.
In the statistics for 2023, all the 3,756,226 breakdowns for which the German Yellow Angels had to move out in 2022 were recorded and evaluated. There is enough data available that gives an objective picture of the reliability of the Mercedes-Benz models.
We have sorted the available data by the make and model. Choose the Mercedes-Benz model you are interested in.
Mercedes-Benz Reliability by Model
Source: ADAC
Note: The ADAC Reliability Index rates vehicles between three and ten years old, of which at least 7,000 have been registered in Germany in some period between 2015 and 2022. The reliability of the models missing here can also be found in the TÜV report, which evaluates data from main technical inspections.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to this page.
