The ML400 was one of the last engines offered before Mercedes renamed the ML line to GLE in 2016, a 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 on the second-generation W166 platform introduced in 2011. In Saudi Arabia it is a cheaper way into a mid-size Mercedes SUV than anything currently badged GLE.
How much does a used Mercedes ML400 cost in Saudi Arabia?
Pricing runs from roughly SAR 55000 for an older, higher-mileage car to SAR 55000 for a tidier one, with condition and service history explaining the spread far more than the exact registration year on a car this old.
Which used Mercedes ML400 year should you buy?
The ML400 was only ever built on the W166 platform, from 2011 until the ML name was retired in 2015, so there is no earlier or later shape to chase. Buy on maintenance record within that window rather than trying to isolate a best year.
Is a used Mercedes ML400 reliable?
Mostly, with one thing worth checking closely. Our inspections find tyre problems, mismatched sizes or damage, on 27% of ML400s, against the 7% we would expect for mid-size premium SUVs of this age and mileage in the Kingdom. That is a tyre-shop fix, not a mechanical one, but it should be priced into any offer.
What else matters on a used Mercedes ML400?
The Mercedes GL500 costs more within our own range but is a genuinely bigger, three-row V8 vehicle. The Toyota Land Cruiser costs far more and is the group's benchmark on accident history, at 19% against the 43% we would expect for SUVs of that age and mileage in the Kingdom, while the Range Rover HSE sits at 38% against a 55% expectation for the same group. At this price, service history and tyre condition matter more than which badge is on the grille.
