The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2006-09) E280 5DR ESTATE 3.0 SPORT AUTO is a large, premium five-door estate, combining executive-car comfort with the extra space and flexibility UK families value. It sits above mainstream estates such as the Ford Mondeo, offering a more luxurious feel, while remaining practical for everyday journeys, holidays and carrying bulky loads. Mycarcheck.com has recorded five checks, covering five distinct cars, so these figures are a small snapshot rather than a definitive market average. The vehicles checked averaged 143,000 miles, around 6,000 miles annually, and 2.8 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation was £2,200. That profile suggests a mature used estate suited to families, travellers and drivers who want comfort and generous luggage room, rather than a low-cost first car. The E280’s smooth petrol V6 and automatic gearbox give relaxed, refined progress, while Sport trim adds a look. Check condition and running costs carefully; age and mileage matter.
