What benefits are included?

Mercedes-Benz is famous for building luxurious cars that can make even long journeys a cosseting treat. The catch? Well, they're not exactly cheap.

Thankfully, there is a solution and it is called the Mercedes-Benz Approved Used scheme. It means you can get your hands on a used Mercedes – everything from the Mercedes A-Class hatchback to the popular Mercedes GLC and the excellent Mercedes E-Class – that's second hand and cheaper than a brand new car, but in excellent condition and coming with a warranty.

Which used Mercedes is right for me?

With a substantial range of vehicles, powertrain options and trims there should be a Mercedes to suit every need, although not necessarily every budget. The A-Class is the current entry point to the range, a classy hatchback that is also available as the CLA saloon and estate, which use the same basic platform but with coupe-like styling. The GLA is a crossover SUV of a similar size. Next comes the B-Class, a compact but spacious MPV, and above that is the big-selling C-Class range. Available in saloon, estate and coupe guises, it is good to drive and packed with safety and convenience technology.

The E-Class is another stalwart of the Mercedes range, also available in saloon, estate and coupe, and offers comfort and luxury as well as generous space inside. Filling in the gaps are more SUVs - the GLB and GLC are similar in size to the hatchback counterparts while the GLE and GLS are at the large end of the scale, with coupe versions of the GLC and GLE also available. At the top of the range is the CLS four-door coupe and the luxurious S-Class saloon, alongside the sporty SL-Class and AMG GT coupes. The G-Class might also be your vehicle of choice if you want an impactful but highly-capable 4x4.

Is there an electric Mercedes that I can buy?

Yes, there are a range of pure electric Mercedes models, including a range of SUVs – the EQA, EQB, EQC and EQS – the EQE and EQS saloons and the EQV MPV.

Why buy Mercedes Benz Approved Used?

An Approved Used Mercedes-Benz has many of the advantages of buying a new car, but with a used-car price. The cars tend to be in great condition but usually command a premium over a second-hand car that's not on the scheme.

Which Mercedes class is the best?

Our favourite Mercedes-Benz currently is the E-Class. It feels a lot more modern inside than the older C-Class and is just as comfortable as the larger S-Class. It's got plenty of space for four adults and the estate model's boot is enormous. You can choose from a wide range of engines – including a V6 a V8 and your choice of petrol or diesel hybrids.
