The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2002-06) E500 4DR SALOON 5.0 SPORT AUTO is a large, premium four-door executive saloon, offering more space and comfort than a family hatchback. In the UK used market, it sits among established luxury cars, appealing to buyers seeking traditional Mercedes refinement and a powerful petrol engine at an accessible older-car price. Mycarcheck.com records are based on a small sample: nine look-ups covering four distinct VINs, so treat the figures as indicative, not a guide to every car. The average private-sale valuation is £3,400, with average recorded mileage of 123,000 miles and annual use of 3,000 miles. Cars checked had an average of 5.4 previous keepers. Limited use may suggest occasional driving, while the keeper average makes a history check worthwhile. The E500 suits comfortable long trips and drivers wanting pace; it feels spacious beside rivals, though fuel and upkeep can cost more than smaller executive saloons.
