2001 Mercedes-Benz S320CDI W220

Highlights

• Only two keepers with current one since 2017
• Very tidy example of these luxurious cruisers
• Economical and reliable 3.2L 204bhp V6 diesel engine
• Current MOT valid to November 2026

The Appeal

The W220 was engineered to be the most Mercedes of Mercedes. Thick carpets, extensive sound deadening and big, comfortable seats give these cars first-class ‘waftability,’ and the sort of driving experience that makes the miles melt away. It’s well worth seeking one out for a taste of all that and some proper old money class.

Finding a good one is the challenge, but miraculously, we’ve done that for you here. The vendor, who bought the car in 2017, is only the second keeper and has clearly looked after it. The mileage is also at the ‘barely run in’ stage for the economical 3.2L OM648 V6 turbodiesel. That powerplant gives the driver the best of both worlds - decent performance and surprisingly good economy for a big executive saloon.

The service history is available to view in the photos, and the car comes to market with an MOT valid until November 2026. There is a single advisory to note. A very tidy example of these premium executive expresses.
