The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2002-06) E200K 4DR SALOON 1.8I CLASSIC is a sizeable four-door executive saloon, sitting above ordinary family cars in the UK used market. It offers a more formal, comfortable alternative to a hatchback, with room for passengers and luggage, and the understated presence expected of a Mercedes-Benz. In mycarcheck.com data, eight look-ups covered six VINs, a modest sample rather than a market picture. The average private-sale valuation was £1,400, with mileage averaging 121,000 miles and annual use around 7,000 miles. Cars checked had about four previous keepers on average, so condition and history deserve attention. Its 1.8-litre petrol engine gives lively performance despite its understated styling. It suits commuting and family travel, offering comfort, a premium badge and a quiet cabin for longer journeys. Against the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6, it's known for a composed ride and solid character; check service records before buying it.
