How reliable is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class used car market in Pakistan?

The used S-Class market in Pakistan can be risky. Many imported o r locally-used vehicles have tampered mileage, accident histories, o r have undergone substandard repairs. Due to the vehicles complexity, hidden issues in electronics, engine performance, o r safety features are not easily detected without a professional diagnostic check.

Buying a used S-Class in Pakistan requires caution due to the following:

Mileage Tampering: Odometers are often rolled back to make the car seem less used, especially in imported models.

Accident Repairs: Many imported S-Class units especially Japanese o r UAE imports have accident history, which may be hidden o r poorly repaired.

Costly Hidden Issues: Due to the vehicle’s complexity, problems in systems like the COMAND infotainment, adaptive lighting, o r hybrid components may not be noticeable during a basic test drive.

Fake o r Low-Quality Parts: Some workshops install low-quality o r Chinese replacement parts that can affect performance and reliability.

Recommendation: Always get a pre-purchase inspection from a trusted Mercedes-Benz specialist and verify the import and service history through customs and dealership records.
