It goes without saying that Mercedes-Benz builds the most reliable cars, just look at the 1/2 a million mile G-Wagon and the quality of a Mercedes-Benz is evident. But for those that need reassuring, the latest Used Car Report compiled by expert inspection organisation DEKRA chose five Mercedes models best in their class.
A determining factor for the Used Car Report 2014 was the assessment of the reports compiled from the main inspections undertaken by the DEKRA test centres. According to these reports, the B-Class, E-Class and GLK-Class are all vehicles with the lowest number of defects in their respective categories. In addition, since the E-Class was voted the “Best of all Classes” and the B-Class “Vehicle of the Year”, Mercedes-Benz succeeded in securing five out of eleven top places – more than any of its competitors.
