Our Verdict
This Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a solid pr
When inspecting this vehicle, focus on the history of the engine management system. The 2024 MOT failure noted an 'Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction'—ensure you see invoices or service documentation confirming the root cause of this fault was addressed and not merely cleared.
Additionally, check the current condition of the tyres. The 2024 failure highlighted both edge wear and exposed cords, which can sometimes indicate alignment issues or heavy suspension loading. A test drive should confirm that the car tracks straight and that there is no uneven vibration at motorway speeds.
As a 1991cc petrol vehicle, this E-Class falls into standard VED brackets for its age. Fuel economy will vary significantly based on driving style, but expect typical executive saloon figures. Insurance will likely be in a higher group given the vehicle's performance and prestige status.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz models can be higher than average, particularly for tyres and electronic diagnostic work. You should budget for premium-brand tyres, as the 19-inch wheels fitted to this model are sensitive to tyre quality. Expect an estimated annual running cost of £2,200–£2,600, covering fuel, insurance, and routine servicing.
Begin your inspection by checking the tyre treads, specifically looking for uneven wear patterns that could point to suspension geometry issues, a known weak point for the E-Class. Verify that the dashboard warning lights perform their self-test correctly upon ignition to ensure the Engine MIL is fully functional.
Given the model's history of suspension arm issues, listen for any knocking or creaking sounds from the front and rear axles during a test drive on uneven surfaces. Check the under-bonnet area for any signs of oil leaks or recent repair work that might correlate with the previous engine management fault.
This 2021 Black Mercedes-Benz E-Class with a 1991cc petrol engine has covered 35,919 miles since its registration in May 2021. Its MOT history shows a clear trajectory, moving from a 2024 failure involving tyre and engine management issues to two consecutive clean passes. It represents a well-monitored vehicle that aligns with the typical performance of the E-Class range.
The Mercedes-Benz E-Class generally aligns with market averages for reliability, though aggregate data shows that suspension components and engine management sensors are common areas for MOT failure.
