It means you can get your hands on a used Mercedes – everything from the Mercedes A-Class hatchback to the popular Mercedes GLC and the excellent Mercedes E-Class – that's second hand and cheaper than a brand new car, but in excellent condition and coming with a warranty.

Mercedes-Benz is owned by Daimler AG. 

An Approved Used Mercedes-Benz has many of the advantages of buying a new car, but with a used-car price. The cars tend to be in great condition but usually command a premium over a second-hand car that's not on the scheme. 

Our favourite Mercedes-Benz currently is the E-Class. It feels a lot more modern inside than the older C-Class and is just as comfortable as the larger S-Class. It's got plenty of space for four adults and the estate model's boot is enormous. You can choose from a wide range of engines – including a V6 a V8 and your choice of petrol or diesel hybrids.
