When you buy a used Mercedes-Benz, you'll get a premium car full of technology, especially if you opt for one of the most recent models. The brand is known for pioneering advanced comfort and safety features in its cars, and even just the badge on the front is highly desirable.
Used Mercedes come in all different shapes and sizes. Some of the most popular models include the A-Class hatchback, C-Class and E-Class saloons (which are also available as convertibles and estates), as well as the GLA, GLB, GLC and GLE SUVs.
Such is the breadth of the Mercedes line-up, they also have sports cars, MPVs as well as a wide range of electric and hybrid models to choose from.
Mercedes is at the forefront of hybrid and electric car development, and has a wide range of full electric, petrol hybrid, diesel hybrid and plug-in hybrid cars across the range.
Models such as the C-Class 300e and 300de are plug-in hybrid models that allow you to travel on EV power alone for around 40 miles, before switching over to petrol/electric power so you can continue your journey on petrol power.
You're well catered for in the Mercedes range when it comes to electric cars, too. The range has everything from the compact EQB to full-size EQE SUV and EQS saloon.

Mercedes-EQ is the company's electric sub-brand. All fully electric Mercedes cars are branded as such, including the EQA, EQB and EQC.
4Matic refers to the brand's all-wheel drive system. If you see a used Mercedes and it's a 4Matic version, that means it has all-wheel drive equipped. It's most popular on SUV models such as the GLE and GLC, but more recently, many of the saloon and hatchback models are equipped with 4Matic, too.
Mercedes-AMG is the high performance sub-brand of Mercedes. Mercedes-AMG models are typically equipped with larger, more powerful engines, as well as suspension, steering and braking upgrade to handle the increased power, plus more aggressive styling. More recently, the brand has started to offer AMG-Line packages on its regular models, so you can have the performance car look without the running costs.
Mercedes-Benz is well known for producing some of the safest cars you can buy, regularly scoring maximum points in crash tests. This is thanks to passive features such as crash structures and airbags, plus advanced active technologies like lane-keeping assist and collision warning/prevention systems.
The A-Class is the cheapest Mercedes car you can buy. It's the brand's most compact model and acts as the entry point for the many British car buyers who aspire to own a Mercedes-Benz.
If you opt for one of the run-of-the-mill models, the general running costs of a used Mercedes will be relatively affordable. Mercedes prides itself on the efficiency of its engines, so fuel economy will typically be very good, except on high-performance models. With this being said, running costs will be higher than less premium marques, but in line with brands like Audi and BMW.
