The MERCEDES-BENZ E CLASS (2006-09) E280 4DR SALOON 3.0 SPORT AUTO is a large, premium four-door saloon, aimed at buyers wanting more space and comfort than a typical family hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it sits among executive cars, competing with the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6. Its understated design and automatic gearbox make it feel well suited to relaxed, confident journeys. Mycarcheck.com records 32 look-ups covering 15 different VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. The average private-sale estimate is £3,000, with recorded mileage averaging 93,000 miles and annual use around 8,000 miles. Cars checked had about four previous keepers on average, so review each car’s history and condition carefully. Roomy and comfortable, the E280 suits families, professionals and commuters who prioritise refinement over low running costs. Its V6 petrol engine delivers smooth performance, but fuel bills can be higher than many smaller rivals overall.
