The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2002-06) E220 5DR ESTATE 2.2 CDI AVANTGARDE is a large, premium diesel estate, aimed at buyers needing more space and comfort than a typical family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among executive wagons such as the BMW 5 Series Touring and Audi A6 Avant, offering a practical alternative to an SUV. Checks on mycarcheck.com are limited, with four look-ups covering four different cars, so figures are a guide rather than a market-wide picture. Those records show an average private-sale value of £1,400, average mileage of 158,000 and annual use of 13,000 miles; cars had averaged 3.25 previous keepers. These figures suggest checking each car’s history and condition carefully. It suits families, commuters and touring drivers who value a generous load area, comfort and diesel range. The Avantgarde trim adds an upmarket feel, while the E220 estate is known for refinement and long-distance ability.
