Is Mercedes sales declining?
Mercedes-Benz Cars reported third quarter (Q3) sales of 441,500 vehicles, down 3% from the previous quarter and 12% from the same period in 2024. Mercedes-Benz sales declined 12% in Q3 to 525,300 vehicles, primarily due to U. S. China, while Germany and other regions showed stronger performance.
What lasts longer, Mercedes or BMW?
That being said, some recent studies show that BMW models can last up to 200,000 to 250,000 miles, with an average lifespan of at least 15 years. On the other hand, Mercedes-Benz vehicles tend to last up to 150,000 to 200,000 miles with an average lifespan of over 10 years. There are not likely to be any definitive timescales to expect your Mercedes-Benz to start developing issues, but as with many cars, problems generally begin after around 7-10 years and around 100,000 miles. This is when items such as suspension arms, hydraulic engine mounts, and timing belts can need replacing.
