Verdict
Grande berline notée 5 étoiles à l'Euro NCAP en 2016, au coffre de 540 litres. FixMyCar lui prête une solide réputation de fiabilité, mais les premiers diesels (2016-2018) ont eu des défauts d'AdBlue et de sonde NOx, et plusieurs rappels (durite d'huile du turbo, câble de démarreur, conduites de carburant) sont recensés : à vérifier avec le numéro de série.

You are importing the car to:
Import penalty (malus) in France
- The CO₂ malus follows the scale of the year the vehicle was first registered, in France or abroad (WLTP or NEDC scale depending on its registration certificate).
- For an imported used car, it is reduced by a flat-rate discount based on its age in months (scheme in force since 1 March 2025). The weight malus also applies on first registration in France.
- The malus is zero for a car more than fifteen years old or first registered before 1 January 2015.

Recalls published in France (RappelConso)
- 12 November 2021 — Le bras tendeur de courroie peut avoir été fabriqué avec une tolérance limite, ce qui pourrait faire frotter un côté de la ceinture à ruban en v contre le tendeur de courroie, ce qui pourrait le faire échouer. En conséquence, la pompe de refroidissement peut cesser de fonctionner, provoquant une surchauffe du moteur, compromettant ainsi l’imperméabilité du réservoir d’huile. Par conséquent, le pétrole peut fuir sur la route, ce qui présente un risque pour la circulation suivante. Official notice

⚠ Estimates to treat with caution

- Maintenance: published servicing price plus an estimated allowance for tyres and brakes.
Calculation details (12,000 km a year)
- Fuel (petrol)€150
E 200 version: combined consumption of 6.1 L/100 km, increased by 15% for real-world driving, at 2.14 €/L, for 1,000 km a month.
6.1 × 1.15 × 2.14 € × 10 = €150
Petrol price (SP95-E10): French national average on 7 October 2026.
- Insurance€102

Inspection checklist
Mercedes-Benz Classe E XI (W213) — inspection checklist
Things to check
- Faire vérifier avec le numéro de série les rappels réalisés (durite d'huile du turbo, câble de démarreur, conduites de carburant, faisceau).
- Sur un diesel 2016-2018, demander si le réservoir, la pompe d'AdBlue ou la sonde NOx ont été remplacés et vérifier l'absence de voyant moteur.
- Vérifier le fonctionnement de l'écran multimédia, de la caméra et des aides à la conduite : certains propriétaires évoquent des coquetteries électroniques.
- Si la voiture a des jantes AMG avec pneus runflat, regarder l'état des jantes arrière : un propriétaire a constaté des fissures.
- Exiger le carnet d'entretien complet et les factures.
Questions to ask the seller
- Les rappels constructeur (turbo, démarreur, carburant) ont-ils été effectués ? Avez-vous les attestations ?
- L'AdBlue ou la sonde NOx ont-ils déjà causé un voyant ou un mode dégradé ?
- Combien de propriétaires, et le suivi d'entretien est-il documenté chez Mercedes ?
Test-drive tip: read the fault codes
A warning light that is off proves nothing: a fault may have been cleared just before the viewing. A Bluetooth OBD2 scanner, plugged in under the steering wheel and read on your phone, shows stored codes and whether all emissions readiness tests have run since the last reset.
