- Generation

- Price range
- P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
- Down payment
- MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
- Availability
- High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

SAFE BETSStrong on both axes — reputation + resale agree.
- Brand reliability
- Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
- Resale strength
- 100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
- Peer set
- Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
- Quadrants
- The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict
Iconic Mercedes G-Wagen — facelift (2018+) brought a much-needed chassis modernisation while keeping the body-on-frame durability + 4WD architecture. M256 inline-six (G500) + M177 4.0L V8 biturbo (G63 AMG) + OM656 diesel (G350d) engine options. Build quality is reference-grade; the chassis is famously durable. Specific paperwork checks: 2019-2020 oil leak recalls on certain VINs, periodic ABS/4ETS calibration. Air suspension is optional but rare on this platform. SG sees G-Wagens as ultra-luxury / status pick; service costs are non-trivial.

What's good
- G500 (M256 inline-six) — most modern + reliable engine on the platform — M256 is Mercedes' new inline-six standard (replaced the old M276 V6). Smooth, modern, electrified (48V mild hybrid). The lower-running-cost choice vs G63 AMG.
- Full Mercedes dealer service history + closed recall paperwork — G-Wagens are status symbols that often see lighter use than their capability suggests, but documented dealer service history is the resale + reliability paper trail.
What to watch
- A 2019-2020 build with patchy oil-leak recall paperwork — specific VIN recalls on early facelift builds. Verify via Mercedes Cycle & Carriage VIN check before signing.
- G63 AMG with no AMG service history — M177 V8 is a complex performance engine. Without AMG-specialist service history, the cost-of-ownership uncertainty band is wide; service receipts are non-negotiable.

Common questions about the Mercedes-Benz G-Class
- How much does a used Mercedes-Benz G-Class cost in Singapore?
- Most used Mercedes-Benz G-Class on the market are around 7 years old, asking roughly S$351k–S$365k (typically about S$360k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
- Is the Mercedes-Benz G-Class reliable?
- In our read, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class scores 60 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
- What should I expect to pay for a used Mercedes-Benz G-Class with a given mileage?
- It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
- Where do these Mercedes-Benz G-Class figures come from?
- They're worked out from current used-Mercedes-Benz G-Class listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
