How Reliable Is Mercedes?

In the UK market, Mercedes did take home several accolades at the What Car? Awards 2024 for the following:
- Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ awarded Hot Hatch of The Year.
- Mercedes-Benz E 300 e named Best Hybrid in the Executive Car category and Best for Comfort in the Estate Car category.
- Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 e is awarded Best for All-Electric Range in the Plug-In Hybrid category.
Mercedes Benz vehicles tend to come with a premium price tag, not only in terms of the initial purchase price but also regarding maintenance, repairs, and insurance premiums. They can also be more complex than entry-level cars so it is important to find a qualified Mercedes automotive shop to ensure that servicing is done to top-notch standards.
Additionally, Mercedes-Benz has a strong reputation for providing excellent warranty coverage, including a four-year/50,000-mile new vehicle limited warranty and comprehensive support for certified pre-owned vehicles.
