What the Mercedes-Benz S-Class figures say
The biggest single step down is into 2006: the median asks 17.5% less than the model year above it, on 3 listings.
It is down to half its 2022 asking price by the 2016 model year, 6 years of age.
At about 17.7% a year it falls faster than the typical model tracked here, which loses 14% a year.
Mercedes-Benz S-Class depreciation: common questions
How much does a Mercedes-Benz S-Class lose in a year?
About 17.7% of its asking price a year, fitted across the 8 model years with three or more DoneDeal listings (R² 0.98). That is an average over the whole curve: the first years fall harder than the later ones, which is what the value-kept column above shows year by year.
Where do these Mercedes-Benz S-Class figures come from?
From 54 public DoneDeal listings recorded by DD Price Tracker, grouped by model year. They are asking prices, not sale prices: what sellers want for the car, which is the number a buyer negotiates down from. Nothing about a seller is stored.
