The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2002-06) E270 4DR SALOON 2.7 CDI ELEGANCE AUTO is a large, traditional four-door executive saloon, sitting above mainstream family cars in the used UK market. It combines a roomy cabin and generous boot with a comfortable, quietly confident feel, making it a practical alternative to an estate or SUV for buyers who prefer a lower-riding car. With 447 mycarcheck.com look-ups covering 219 distinct VINs, the E270 has a useful, sizeable used-car data sample. Checks show an average private-sale value of £1,500 and average recorded mileage of 127,000 miles; typical annual use is 7,000 miles, with around 3.5 previous keepers. These figures suggest an established older car, so condition and history matter more than the badge alone. The diesel suits long-distance commuters and families wanting relaxed space, while Elegance trim adds an upmarket feel. Against rivals, its comfort and prestige stand out; expect age-related upkeep and repairs.
