Some of the problems with the 2006 Mercedes-Benz E500 4MATIC include minor things like normal wear and tear to more serious things that might cost a pretty penny to get fixed. Some of the more minor things can be helped with regular maintenance on the vehicle. Like some engine problems You can avoid by changing the oil and the filter every 3,000 miles or so. Another thing You can do is to do coolant changes every 30,000 miles to 50,000 miles or every 3 years, this will help to keep the car running more smoothly. Some other problems that can be more serious and might be unpredictable are leaks from the rear air springs, crankshaft position sensor failure and the airmatic pump motors failing. You can't really prepare for these like You can with the minor problems.

There are not any specific issues with the 2006 mercedes e500, however due to the age of the vehicle it is likely there will be issues with the engine or transmission. Rust or damaged metal could have set in over time. Likewise the brake lines and other fluid lines should be checked for dry rot and leaks. Brake pads will likely need to be replaced and tires should be checked for age and rot. The oil and oil pump should be checked for rot on the lines, and cracks in the pan. There may also be dead or damaged wires and blown fuse causing electrical problems throughout the vehicle.
