Mercedes-Benz M-Class Depreciation & Resale Value

Mercedes-Benz M-Class keeps an estimated 47% of its recent market value after 5 years — #422 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Mercedes-Benz M-Class retains an estimated 47% of its recent market value after five years, ranking #422 of 530 cars we track. That trails the 54% five-year average for Luxury in its class by 7 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Mercedes-Benz M-Class sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $38,450 it falls to around $17,917 by year five — a five-year loss near $20,533, about $11.25 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Mercedes-Benz M-Class bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
