The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2009-13) E220 4DR SALOON 2.1 CDI BLUEEFFICIENCY DPF SS 170 EU5 AVANTGARDE EDITION 125 6SPD is a premium, four-door executive saloon: a comfortable, formal alternative to family hatchbacks and SUVs. It sits in the UK’s used prestige-car market, competing with BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 models, and suits buyers wanting space and refinement without moving to a large estate. Mycarcheck.com records 13 checks across nine VINs, a useful snapshot but not a broad market survey. Checked cars averaged £4,300 in private-sale value, 137,000 miles and around 7,000 miles annually; keeper histories averaged just under three previous keepers. These figures are historical indicators, not a promise of today’s price or any car’s condition. Its 2.1-litre diesel and six-speed manual suit commuting and longer family journeys, with stop-start technology intended to reduce fuel use. Avantgarde trim adds a distinctive, well-equipped feel. It is best for drivers seeking a roomy, composed motorway companion; check service records, emissions-system health and wear carefully at this mileage.
