Excessive oil consumption in an E-Class can be caused by several factors:

Engine Wear: Over time, components like piston rings and valve seals wear out, allowing oil to seep into the combustion chamber and burn off.

Oil Leaks: External leaks from gaskets, seals, o r oil pans can lead to noticeable oil loss.

PCV Positive Crankcase Ventilation Valve Issues: A malfunctioning PCV valve can cause pressure buildup and oil burning.

Oil Grade and Quality: Using incorrect o r poor-quality oil may increase consumption.

Driving Conditions: Frequent short trips o r heavy loads can cause the engine to consume more oil.

What to do: Monitor oil levels regularly, use manufacturer-recommended oil, check for leaks, and have a professional mechanic inspect the engine internals if consumption is very high.
