Tested
“This Mercedes 190 E 2.3-16 is a true icon among classic sports sedans. Under the hood sits the well-known 2.3-liter engine with 16 valves, where Cosworth has provided the cylinder head – a design that gave the model its character and performance right from the start. The car has low mileage but needs a review, which makes it an interesting specimen for enthusiasts. The combination of classic design, rear-wheel drive, and the rev-happy engine provides a driving experience that still impresses. A timeless model with a clear motorsport connection and a legacy that makes it sought after even today.”
The Tested range is a wide selection of used cars which, depending on their age and mileage, may require some maintenance and servicing, as well as possible repairs. However, each vehicle is unique with its own history, so it is important to read the description and any comments in our test to understand its condition.
What do we notice in the Kvd test?
Our vehicle technicians have tested the car on more than 170 points and noted both approved points and eventual remarks. This gives you a good and fair picture of the car.
Since the the car has had a previous owner, some signs of use may be present, which we consider normal wear based on the car’s age and mileage. This is not indicated in the test results, but is a natural part of a used car.
