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.

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

Two gen-defining checks: (1) the M260 cylinder-head defect — Mercedes extended warranty to 15 years/150k miles, but paperwork that confirms coverage matters; (2) the 2020 diesel crankshaft recall (KBA 011460) — only a small batch built July-Dec 2020, verify chassis number. Cars passing both are otherwise modern + well-mannered.

What's good

  • Petrol GLB 200/250 with extended-warranty paperwork on the cylinder head — the defect coverage is real but only useful if the buyer can demonstrate it. A clean compression test + the warranty letter is the buy-with-confidence combo.
  • Diesel GLB built OUTSIDE the 22 Jul - 9 Dec 2020 recall window — KBA 011460 only affects that narrow build window; chassis built before or after carry no crankshaft risk. The seller should be able to produce the build-date.

What to watch

  • Petrol GLB with rough idle, misfires, or unexplained check-engine lights — symptoms of the M260 cylinder-head defect. Don't walk yet — verify the extended-warranty status first; this is a covered repair when in scope.
  • Diesel GLB built Jul-Dec 2020 with no recall-inspection paperwork — the crankshaft recall (KBA 011460) requires an inspect-and-replace under SC; without proof it was done, assume the work is pending.

Common questions about the Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class

How much does a used Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class cost in Singapore?
Most used Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class on the market are around 6 years old, asking roughly S$129k–S$153k (typically about S$137k). 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.
How much does a used Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class depreciate per year?
A used Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 10% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.
Is the Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class reliable?
In our read, the Mercedes-Benz GLB-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 GLB-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 GLB-Class figures come from?
They're worked out from current used-Mercedes-Benz GLB-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.
