Broke 150,000 miles this week
My 2008 broke 150,000 miles this week. Bought it in March 2008 with 6,000 miles. Its been a very good car. No issues until after 100,000 miles. Replaced ign lock and key sensor at 105k And recently upper manifold at 149k. I dont do A and B services. I just change oil every 10k, trans every 40k, and differential at 80,000.

Congrats 
I'm getting close to 70k on my 2009. Not even close to any major issues, it's been a super cheap car to maintain. I think once you get over 155k miles, you can apply for a high mileage badge from MB USA (works out to be 1/4 million kilometers, 250k)

Congratulations, that's great to hear! I'm at 82k and running strong. I have had no problems and have recently been maintaining my vehicle myself. I'm worried about the ignition lock/key sensor you spoke of though! Is that the same issue other members have posted about? ~2k fix?
Happy driving,
Troy

Good for you!
The only draw back for not doing A and B service is that its documented in MB's system so if a part fails that is related to the maintenance schedule, factory/extended warranty is not honored.
