This Mercedes-Benz 300E Has Racked Up 800,000 Original Miles

When it comes to mileage, this has to be some kind of record for a Mercedes-Benz. If not, we certainly would like to know who the other contenders are for most miles logged in a Mercedes.

Then again, we imagine that a vehicle with over 800,000 miles on the original engine and transmission would probably be considered a winner in any automotive circle, which is why we’re so drawn to this 1989 Mercedes-Benz 300E featured in an Art of Gears report.

The story of the 300E built on the W124 platform is a carmaker’s dream, given what it says about the durability of a brand.

Apparently, the only thing that stopped the car from reaching the one-million mark is the fact that the owner purchased a 2013 C300, according to an older Reddit post by the owner’s son.

Check out the photos below, taken just before the big round 800,000 number. Then let us know your thoughts!
