The Best used Mercedes-Benz cars you can buy

Say the word 'Mercedes' out loud – you feel a little more posh now, right? Well, that's what around 100 years of world-renowned class, luxury and style does to a brand and, unsurprisingly, many car buyers want a piece of that prestige. 

Of course, some are willing to remortgage their home to get their hands on a Mercedes, but we'll call that plan B. No, what you want is a great deal and that's where the used market steps in. There are plenty of reasonably priced Mercedes models to choose from – everything from family cars to luxury SUVs – so we've compiled a list of your top 10 options.

In our latest reliability survey, the company ranked 22nd out of 31 brands, with an average rating of 89.7%. That’s 10% less than rival brand Lexus and 4.3% under BMW; although still 0.7% better than Audi. That said, many individual models in the Mercedes range scored very well, so finding the right car can help you save a lot of headaches.
