The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2002-06) E200K 5DR ESTATE 1.8 CLASSIC AUTO is a large, premium family estate, pairing Mercedes comfort with the useful load space of a five-door wagon. In the UK used-car market, it sits above ordinary family estates, competing with cars such as the BMW 5 Series Touring and Audi A6 Avant. Its automatic gearbox makes everyday driving straightforward. Mycarcheck.com records 48 look-ups, covering five distinct VINs, so the figures offer a useful snapshot but a limited sample. The checked cars averaged £1,400 in private-sale value, 86,000 miles and 4,000 miles a year; recorded keeper history averaged just under three previous keepers. With space for luggage and a calm, comfortable character, this E-Class estate suits families, travellers or anyone needing a practical long-distance car rather than a city runabout. The Classic trim is an entry point; check condition, service records and the car’s history before buying, as age and upkeep matter.
