Mercedes-Benz E Class prices in the UK

The average used Mercedes-Benz E Class listed for £16,784 in the UK as of July 2026 (median £14,490), based on 8,773 ScanAuctions price observations. The value sweet spot is a 2016 car at around £11,897 — 22.6% less than a 2017.

The E Class in the used market

The E-Class market is executive money made rational: chauffeur, taxi and fleet churn produce big supply of high-mileage but well-maintained diesels. W212 cars (2009–2016) are the budget end; the W213 (2016–2023) is where most of the volume sits, with the E220d the default. Mileage discounts run steep here — a 100k-mile example with impeccable history is the classic value buy.
