2009 C350
But this is off topic so I'll end it there! (But how's the GTI? I'm considering trading in my C350 for one. For the better fuel economy and modding options. And to be more age-appropriate for me I guess)

2020 GLC300 4MATIC
2008 C300 4matic, ~ 65,000 miles... third set of tires (though my last set only last a few months due to running over a bag of screws), other than that, happy happy. 
To the OP - you passed the 125,000 mile mark - did you send in the paperwork for the high mileage award?

2008 C350 sport 125000 miles and ticking
Ive replaced tires three times brake pads are still good( highway miles), had intake manifold lever go bad, tpms valve leak, ignition switch problem, command control know issue, and driver door airbag system cable failure (under warranty). Sounds like slot, but really hasn't been much considering how much I drive. Still runs like new and loving it.

MB '12 C250 Sport
Just traded my 2003 E500 for a 2012 C250. MB CPO Warranty for 5 years and purchased with only 9k miles. My E500 had 147k when I said goodbye and started getting really expensive!

Mileage Update
I'm up to 174K and one high mileage badge down and hopefully many more to go. Outstanding issues:
Drivers seat bottom is worn in the middle.
Drivers seat lumbar support is worn on the left side.
Drivers seat head-rest is broken.
Passenger door will not lock/unlock.
Other than those mostly cosmetic things still going strong.

2008 C300 Luxury
2008 C300. 90K.
(and BTW -- 27.8 mpg lifetime average, calculated accurately with mileage and receipts)
It has had one set of brake pads, two sets of tires, two automatic transmission oil changes (9 quarts -- torque converter emptied each time), 10 engine oil changes w/filters, two sets of cabin air filters, two sets of engine air filters, one alignment, and new bulbs in all of the taillights, along with an additional ground wire. It has had four sets of wiper blades. Its longest trip was about 8K miles. We hit a curb and damaged one front wheel (cosmetic only). That wheel was replaced.
It had a fuel system glitch when it was brand new. That was repaired and has never recurred. It had a leak in one of the rear view mirror housings that corroded a turn signal reflector. That was replaced.
There have been no other problems of any sort.
It has no current issues.
Overall, this is turning out to be one of the least expensive cars I've ever owned. I have owned 19 cars since 1963.

C300 4-Matic Sport
At 60,000 miles the center console knob stopped its scroll capability but I manage to make it work with the l/r/up/dn push to navigate through letters and console tabs.
At 95,000 miles I started getting a few odd error messages here and there with ABS/Traction going off, but they disappeared on its own.
At 100,000 miles noticed I got uneven tire wear on the rears, which will need a new alignment.
Still going strong.

Bought at 16k cpo
let’s see, I’ve done…

2 alignments

2 transmission services with next one real soon(every 30k)

4 brake fluid exchanges
1 blower motor
1 command unit
1 drivers seat belt
After 50k I do oil changes every 5k with Mercedes oil
miscellaneous light bulbs
3 wiper blade sets
1 battery
