Mercedes-benz G-class: which year should you buy?
We scored the 2011 to 2023 Mercedes-benz G-class year by year. None has a matured-enough record to earn an outright “Buy” yet, so treat this as a map of relative risk and lean on a professional inspection.
Every model year, scored
Same math for every year (how we score). A neutral Unproven or Too New stamp means too few owner reports are on file to affirm the year, not that it’s clean.

Cross-shopping a different nameplate? Compare the 2023 Mercedes-benz G-class head-to-head →
The fine print: each year’s verdict is computed from public NHTSA complaint and recall records for the Mercedes-benz G-class as a model, not for any individual car. A well-kept example of a weaker year can outlast a neglected strong one. Informational only, so always get a professional pre-purchase inspection.
