My 1995 C280 has 163,366 miles and just the driver door lock/unlock has disconnected (anti-theft activated) but not to hard to fix! Also needs a new windshield wipers motor, also another easy fix!

2011 E250 Coupe Manual 90k miles. Had faulty airbag changed under warranty. Also recall on injectors. No squeaks etc. Major svc every 2 yrs / 30k and runs well. Regularly get 55+ mpg on motorways/ 35+ around town. Pirelli rears only last about 10k but Hankooks last 25k and great fun in the wet on an otherwise safe/ dull car.

In reply to Atif Lanier. That's low miles for that car. :)

I had a 2003 w211 220cdi. Done 450,000 miles, without engine, transmission or turbo trouble. Had to recondition injectors at about 300,000 and alternator around the same mileage. I got it remapped for more power at about 220,000 miles, didn’t cause any reliability issues. Timing chain was rattling for about 200,000 miles but never jumped. Transmission began to slip under hard acceleration (which it got every day) so I got rid. I’d say if I done the clutch packs it would have hit a million miles. No sign of wear on the engine at all. Not using any oil either. Sorry I have no pic.

I’m considering buying a 1983 MB diesel. It has 235,000 miles on it. Outwardly, it’s in excellent condition, painted 5 yrs ago and has new tires.

In reply to Hinga Danga Durgen. I bought a 2007 C280 4matic in March 2009 with 48000 Miles. As of today, I got 213000 Miles still driving smooth. Got to take care of things when you first hear a sound while driving. I’ve done my transmission at 164000, replaced tires atleast 4-5 times, shocks & struts, brakes & rotors minimum 3-4 times. Recently replaced spark plugs & coils. Also have replaced my ECU at 150000. But can’t complaint. Still driving. Happy Benz owner.
