Buying Tips for the 2000–2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W210)
- ✓Check everywhere for severe rust, particularly the front spring perches (which can snap off), wheel arches, door bottoms, and the boot lock area.
- ✓Inspect the 5-speed automatic gearbox; ensure the fluid has been changed and check for oil wicking up the wiring loom into the gearbox ECU.
- ✓On OM606 diesel engines, verify that the glow plugs aren't seized; snapping one in the cylinder head during replacement is a major issue.
- ✓Test the air conditioning, as the evaporator behind the dashboard frequently leaks, requiring a massive, dash-out labour bill to fix.
- ✓Check the condition of the front anti-roll bar drop links and bushes, which wear quickly and cause knocking over bumps.
