Mercedes-Benz has some mixed opinions regarding its reliability. Some love it while others are of the opinion that it has a lot of electrical issues. While its engines and drivetrains are typically bullet-proof, many other issues sometimes slip through the cracks. 

It’s easy to get caught up in the stigma that German cars are unreliable. However, brands like Mercedes-Benz constantly push for new technology, so of course, there will be complications. 

Nevertheless, these are some of the most unreliable Mercedes-Benz that you should stay away from if you are in the market for a used Mercedes vehicle in Nigeria.

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz E350

Mercedes’ E350 from 2006 was big and comfortable. Though acceleration required more encouragement than usual, it delivered smooth power and drove like it was on clouds. It also offered poor adaptive cruise control, where the car could adjust its distance from other cars on the road while in cruise control.

Owners cite issues with the fuel system. Some of the issues are leaking gas, where you’ll need to replace the fuel tank, pump, fuel line, and seals. This can also happen a second time as well, around 104,000 miles. Another issue is a complete brake failure. Later models are among the most reliable luxury cars on the market, but the 2006 is one of the most unreliable Mercedes-Benz ever made.

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C300

The 2015 C300 looked aggressive compared to its previous generation. Unfortunately, its bark was worse than its bite. The C300 used a turbocharged inline-four that pumped out 241 horsepower via a 7-speed automatic transmission. At 3645 curb weight, 241 horsepower leaves some acceleration to be desired. Like others on this list, it had faults that simply couldn’t be ignored.

Owners complained of the sunroof panel detaching from the car while driving on the freeway. The car also had problems with airbag inflators exploding, sending sharp shards into passengers, and steering locknut failure. This car had a lot of other problems that made it one of the most unreliable Mercedes-Benz ever.

Conclusion

Like any other brand, Mercedes-Benz has had its issues. While the engine and drivetrain are solid thanks to overengineering, other parts of the car may fail. That said Mercedes-Benz makes reliable cars, it just takes some research to find the right one.
