While the technology of the W210 is considered very robust, the models suffer from heavy rusting even when well handled.
The reason often given here is a change in coating and painting techniques in production, which no longer adequately protected the metals from corrosion.
Since the E-Class is now also considered a young car worthy of preservation, it is worthwhile to have damaged metal parts professionally repaired.
