Why the used Marco Polo appeals despite high prices

The Mercedes Marco Polo (447 series, 2015–2019) remains sought-after on the used market due to its premium interior and driving comfort. Fully equipped examples start at around €40,000, while three-year-old vehicles with up to 50,000 km cost at least €60,000. The OM651 and OM654 diesel engines are known for AdBlue system issues and NOx sensor failures, and timing chain wear may occur after 200,000 km.
