About the Mercedes Hearse
The Mercedes Hearse has been tested 142 times in 2026 MOT data across 3 model years (2006 to 2011), with an average pass rate of 94%. That's comfortably above the national average of 82%, making it a reliable choice. Available as diesel.
Best and Worst Years
The 2011 model is the most reliable with a 98% pass rate from 42 tests. The 2008 model has the lowest at 88%. The 10 point spread between years means reliability varies somewhat, but no year is dramatically different.
Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (2006) averages 103,047 miles, while the newest (2011) averages 75,895 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
Compared to the Mercedes brand average of 87%, the Hearse performs 7 points better, making it one of the more reliable options in the Mercedes range.
Estimated Running Costs
Based on 7,400 miles/year, current fuel prices, and MOT pass rate data. Insurance not included.
