The W210 may not be loved like its W124 predecessor, but that does keep 'em cheap... PistonHeads SOTW
What, in your opinion, is an 'old git' motor? Many will be shouting 'Jaguar XJ', 'Lexus LS400', 'Honda Jazz', or 'anything with a Rover badge on it', but for some readers the answer to this question will always be 'W210 Mercedes'.
The 2000-on facelift W210s were improved across the board and the steels used for the W211 successor were properly galvanised from the third quarter of 2003, but the 'Chrysler effect' of the 1998 merger with Daimler-Benz brewed up a nasty stench of reputational damage that still lingers on like a silent eggy one more than twenty years later.
The old straight six wasn't without its problems - head gasket and wiring harness to name a couple. The V6 made a mechanically pretty sound but it did bring some new issues to the party - MAF and crank position sensors to name a different couple. Like many cars, the W210 could be sensitive to good battery condition. ESP warning lights would most likely be telling you that your brake light switch had gone.
