Highlights

Classic 90s Mercedes styling looks superb
Very good overall condition inside and out
MOT until December 2025 with no advisories

The Appeal

The 1996 Mercedes E220 Estate is a true embodiment of classic Mercedes-Benz design and engineering. Renowned for its reliability and luxurious ride, this model offers a refined driving experience that is hard to match even by modern standards.

The E220’s iconic 90s styling, combined with its robust build quality, makes it a standout example that still turns heads today. For those who appreciate the elegance of a Mercedes and the practicality of an estate car, this E220 offers an ideal blend of both. Driving the E220 is a pleasure, thanks to its superb 2.2l engine and smooth automatic gearbox combination.

The more than spacious interior, with its well-preserved beige cloth seats, and a massive boot, make it perfect for family trips or simply for those who need the extra cargo space. With the addition of the tow hitch, this is a modern classic Mercedes that is as practical as it is stylish.

Hi, which part of the rear seat won’t go down flat, the small part or the larger 2/3’s section? thanks

Sorry Harvey…no cruise control, I’m afraid…

Hullo…….and please can you let me know…… Has the Rear Self Levelling Suspension ever been replaced or needed attention? Ditto the rear Subframe or its mounts ? Has the biodegradable engine wiring loom been replaced ? Is there any ingress of moisture/ water around the rear fixed frame windows or tailgate ? Many thanks Stuart

Hi Stuart I’m not aware if the rear suspension was replaced before I bought the car. It has never given any cause for concern and is incredibly smooth. Same with subframe and mounts. Underside is in excellent condition. Not aware of wiring replacements for same reason as above but again, no problems. No moisture ingress. Hope helpful.
