Our Verdict
A capable executive diesel that is a via
Given that this vehicle has surpassed the 100,000-mile mark, the most critical step is to verify a comprehensive service history. Ensure that oil changes and filter replacements have been performed at regular intervals to support the longevity of the 1950cc diesel engine. Use the high mileage as a primary point of negotiation, as this vehicle has travelled significantly more than the typical E-Class of this age.
Check for any evidence of recent major component replacements. At this mileage, wear-and-tear items such as water pumps, belts, or alternator pulleys may be approaching the end of their natural lifespan. Ensure all documentation for these works is present and dated.
As a Euro 6 AP diesel, this vehicle is compliant with current ULEZ and Clean Air Zone standards, making it suitable for urban commuting. While the engine is designed for fuel efficiency over long distances, the E-Class carries higher insurance groups and premium Mercedes-Benz maintenance costs.
Annual expenditure will be higher than a standard saloon due to the cost of parts and specialised labour. Budget for premium tyres and brake components, which are more expensive for this model than for entry-level vehicles.
Inspect the tyres thoroughly, noting that the vehicle failed its August 2025 MOT because the rear tyres were worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edges. This could indicate an alignment issue or specific driving patterns that accelerate wear.
Reference the aggregate data for this model, which identifies suspension arms and brake pads as top failure reasons across 255,038 vehicles. Have a mechanic check the suspension bushings for perishing and the brake pads for remaining thickness. Finally, test the windscreen wipers to ensure they clear effectively, following the failure recorded in 2025.
This black 2020 Mercedes-Benz E has covered 100,206 miles, far exceeding the model average of 9,120 miles per year. The MOT history is relatively consistent, with the most recent test in August 2026 passing with no defects. However, it did record a failure in August 2025 due to worn rear tyres and ineffective windscreen wipers.
This model has an average MOT pass rate of 83.8%, with the most common failures relating to tyres, suspension arms, and brake pads.
