ADAC Breakdown Statistics for 2004: Mercedes Models Demonstrate Their Reliability

Stuttgart, Germany, April 28, 2005 Mercedes-Benz is one of the winners in this year's compilation of breakdown statistics by the German motorists' association ADAC. The brand’s passenger cars received top marks in three automotive categories. The Mercedes-Benz A-Class was the winner in the "Lower Mid-Range" category, making it the most reliable compact car on Germany’s roads, according to the breakdown statistics compiled by ADAC. The average breakdown rate for the 2004 models of the A-Class was only 2.3 per thousand. Equally impressive was the performance of the M-Class, which won top honours in the "Off-Roader" category. The average breakdown rate for the 2004 models of the M-Class was only 2.5 per thousand. The experts at ADAC were especially pleased by the models of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and the S-Class, whose extremely low breakdown rates won them top spots in the "Upper Mid-Range/Luxury Class" category.

Reliability survey makes good reading for Audi and Mercedes

This is very good news. I hope MB regains the unquestionable position it had only 15 years ago.
