The Appeal

Nothing lugs loads luxuriously quite like Mercedes’ cavernous W211. With a realistic 50mpg available from the 220bhp V6 diesel, it’s economical too. This smartly presented Elegance proves that they are reliable and capable of high mileages too, especially when maintained as here by Mercedes main dealers throughout.

The car is finished in Cubanite Silver with a premium black leather interior trimmed in plenty of burr walnut. Inside and out it presents really well, likely helped by being owned by the same keeper from new until 2026. He entrusted maintenance to the same Salisbury Mercedes main dealer up to 2023. The service book shows a further service by an independent garage in June 2026. Other work this year has included fitting a refurbished steering pump.

With its MOT in place until March 2027, this E320 CDI presents a well-documented, carefully maintained example of a modern classic.

The vendor says:

“It drives exactly as you would expect - very smooth and gentle, with power when you want it. I think the most extraordinary aspect is how high-spec it is for its age, notably the 'seat cooling' option, which brought a smile to my face when I discovered it! I bought it out of a rush of sentimentality but its practically suited to our lifestyle - it needs a larger driveway and preferably a garage for such a lovely car.”
