The Mercedes-Benz E-Class has an average lifespan of 123,171 miles or about 11.8 years. The E-Class's predicted lifespan is derived from over 300 million data points iSeeCars analyzed to determine this model’s average lifespan. These same data points show the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is typically driven 9,543 miles a year during its first 10 years of use, and has a 10.7 percent chance of reaching at least 200,000 miles during its usable lifespan.
These factors contribute to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class's 8.2 out of 10 reliability rating, ranking it:

How We Rank These Cars
iSeeCars Reliability Score is calculated based on the latest research from our data science team.
The iSeeCars Reliability Score is calculated based on the analysis of over 312 million cars using a proprietary mathematical model that estimated the probability that each vehicle would survive to various mileage thresholds. This survival model was used to calculate the average lifespan of each model, which forms the basis of the reliability score. The safety score is based on NHTSA safety ratings.
Along with the Reliability ratings, we show comprehensive iSeeCars ratings for each model, because we believe multiple factors should be taken into account when buyers are seeking the best overall vehicle. The overall iSeeCars Score consists of an analysis of three factors: reliability, value retention and safety. The iSeeCars Value Retention Score is based on data analysis from our 5-Year Depreciation Studies and the iSeeCars Safety Score is based on NHTSA and IIHS Safety Ratings.
Vehicles are scored in three categories:
Reliability
The reliability score represents an analysis of iSeeCars' proprietary research on the longest-lasting vehicles.
Value Retention
The value retention score is based on our data science team's statistical analysis and prediction of 5-year depreciation from MSRP to determine which cars hold their value best, using US Bureau of Labor Statistics data to adjust for inflation.
Safety
The safety score is calculated based on the last five years of crash test ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and incorporates the latest Top Safety Pick information from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
