Our Verdict
This is a low-risk used purchase thanks to a clean MOT record and modest mileage for its age. Budget for a set of tyres soon, as all-round perishing was noted at the most recent test.
With three consecutive passes and no failures, this Black 2020 E-Class presents as a well-maintained example, but always ask for a full service history to confirm routine maintenance was carried out alongside the low annual mileage. The 1991cc petrol engine falls under Euro 6 DG emissions, so confirm the ULEZ/compliance paperwork if buying for city use. Use the noted tyre perishing as a negotiation point — four tyres at this size will not be cheap on a Mercedes.
As a 2.0-litre petrol Euro 6 vehicle first registered in September 2020, this E-Class will sit in a standard VED band for petrol cars under 2.0 litres, with no premium car tax surcharge applying as list price is unknown. Insurance group is likely mid-to-high for the sector given the Mercedes badge and engine size. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and maintenance are around £1,200-£1,500, with tyres being the main near-term outlay.
The 2025 MOT noted slight cracking or perishing on the Nearside Front, Nearside Rear and Offside Front tyres at 15,679 miles — inspect all four for age and sidewall condition and plan replacement if not already done. Earlier MOTs (2023 at 6,166 miles, 2024 at 10,488 miles) recorded no defects, so check that brake discs and pads remain in good order given the low mileage. Verify the service book matches the low annual usage and look for any paintwork issues on the black bodywork which can show marks more readily.
The 2020 Mercedes-Benz E (R99HDR) has passed every MOT since first registration, with only minor tyre perishing flagged in 2025. Recorded mileage of 15,679 miles by September 2025 is well below typical use for a five-year-old executive saloon. No aggregate model reliability data is available, but the individual history here is reassuring.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Mercedes-Benz E model, so assessment is limited to this vehicle's individual history.
