2005 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E220 CDi Elegance diesel

Summary:

Living the dream in my dream car!

Faults:

Front LH wheel bearing had to be replaced at 167,000 miles. ABS/ESP lights came on after this. It was only a broken ABS switch. No other faults.

General Comments:

Comfortable, smooth, quiet ride. Pristine inside and out. Always select Drive position and rarely select lower gears (engine does it by itself when needed). Carefully driven and looked after: no excessive speeds or heavy braking, washed and waxed regularly, towels over windows when frosty, oil and water topped up, tyre pressures kept up. I expect to keep the car for about another 5 years, or until anything major makes it uneconomical to fix (current estimated value is around £600 - 27.01.24). Not a thirsty engine. My dream car.
