Verdict
Tout-terrain de luxe noté 5 étoiles à l'Euro NCAP en 2019, vendu en diesel, essence V8 et, depuis 2024, en électrique (G 580). Les retours publiés sur la fiabilité de cette génération manquent : aucune panne n'est documentée par nos sources, ce qui ne vaut pas garantie. Les prix d'occasion sont très élevés ; faites contrôler l'exemplaire en détail.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Check an imported car's history
HistoVec only covers the vehicle's life in France. For a car coming from abroad, a VIN-based report helps spot inconsistent mileage or a reported accident.

Known faults
No fault publicly documented so far, so reliability is not rated. This is no guarantee: have the car checked all the more carefully before buying.
Manufacturer recalls
See the official list on RappelConso (new tab) (French government recall site: category “Automobiles et moyens de déplacement”, search “Mercedes-Benz Classe G”). A dealer for the brand can also check, using the vehicle identification number (VIN), that recalls have been carried out.
Recalls published in France (RappelConso)
- 22 July 2025 — Des fissures peuvent se développer dans le boîtier de transmission de l’essieu arrière, ce qui pourrait entraîner des fuites d’huile de transmission sur la route, ce qui représente un risque pour le trafic suivant. De plus, la fracturation ultérieure du boîtier pourrait entraîner une interruption de la transmission de puissance sur l’essieu arrière, entraînant une perte de direction et de propulsion des roues sans avertissement, augmentant ainsi le risque d’accident. Official notice
- 8 August 2023 — Le connecteur électrique des capteurs à impact latéral pourrait ne pas être correctement verrouillé et pourrait se détacher. Cela aurait pour effet de retarder l’activation des systèmes de retenue en cas de choc latéral, de réduire leur effet de retenue et d’augmenter le risque de blessures pour les occupants du véhicule.

Inspection checklist
Mercedes-Benz Classe G II (W463) — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série les rappels réalisés chez un concessionnaire Mercedes.
- Exiger le carnet d'entretien complet : un exemplaire utilisé en tout-terrain demande un suivi régulier des organes mécaniques.
- Contrôler les trains roulants, les différentiels et la transmission lors d'un essai, y compris sur chaussée irrégulière.
- Pour une électrique G 580, demander l'état de la batterie et l'historique de charge.
- Comparer l'équipement : la valeur varie beaucoup avec les finitions AMG et les options.
Questions to ask the seller
- Tous les rappels constructeur ont-ils été effectués ? Avez-vous les attestations ?
- La voiture a-t-elle servi en tout-terrain ou au remorquage ?
- Le carnet d'entretien est-il complet et les révisions faites chez Mercedes ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
Electric or hybrid equivalent
