2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class: what owners report

• Airmatic air suspension is a typical cost on the W211 and W212: on the W211, replacing ageing air reservoirs means removing the rear axle, and compressors often fail.2004–2016
• On the 2009–2016 W212, German inspectors find corroded brake lines far more often than average, a below-average parking brake and rust on the rear axle carrier, which Mercedes covered with goodwill.2009–2016
• German sources report failing NOx sensors, infotainment glitches and coolant loss on OM656 diesels in the 2016–2023 W213, which has had roughly three dozen recalls.2016–2023
• On W213 cars with the OM654 four-cylinder diesel, the rocker arms were a weak point until Mercedes fitted a revised design from June 2018.2016–2018
