The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2002-06) E270 4DR SALOON 2.7 CDI ELEGANCE is a large, traditional four-door executive saloon, sitting above ordinary family cars in the UK used-car market. Its long-distance comfort and roomy cabin make it a practical alternative to an estate or SUV for buyers who prefer a refined saloon. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 12 checks across eight distinct VINs, so the figures offer a useful snapshot rather than a broad market survey. These cars averaged 126,000 miles and 5,000 miles a year, with 3.75 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £1,600. That points to an older, high-mileage model often used gently in recent years, though condition and history matter greatly. Its diesel engine and roomy, comfortable cabin suit families, commuters and motorway drivers. It feels more refined than a Ford Mondeo, while offering an alternative to the BMW 5 Series or Audi A6. Check service and ownership records carefully before purchase.
