MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2002-06) E280 5DR ESTATE 3.0 V6 ELEGANCE AUTO

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2002-06) E280 5DR ESTATE 3.0 V6 ELEGANCE AUTO is a premium five-door estate, combining luggage space with a comfortable, upmarket feel. In the UK used-car market, it belongs among executive family cars, rather than small estates or SUVs, and pairs a petrol V6 with automatic transmission.

mycarcheck.com data covers nine look-ups across four VINs, a modest sample. It shows an average private-sale valuation of £1,600, mileage of 132,000 miles, annual use of 6,000 miles and around 4.8 previous keepers. These figures offer context, not a guarantee of condition or value for a specific car being considered.

This estate suits families and touring couples needing load space and refinement. Elegance trim, automatic transmission and a V6 make it a relaxed, capable long-distance car, though running costs will exceed those of a small estate. It rivals the BMW 5 Series Touring and Audi A6 Avant in its class.

Considering an older E-Class estate? Outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, hidden damage, theft or mileage discrepancies could turn a bargain into a costly mistake. Enter the reg now and check before you buy.
