125000 miles
I've only had it a couple of weeks now, but am chipping away at usual M113 issues (leaking valve cover gaskets) and other issues with the Active Headlights.

Important recall!!
Congratulations N_Jay! Go for more!
2008 E350
65K mi., no prob, best car EVER
However, it often smelled strongly of gas. After 10 smelly years, I finally mentioned to my dealer last week, and he immediately replaced my gas tank for free! Said it was LEAKING! Geeze, they should have called me!!! Glad I never blew up my garage, my house or myself. Hope this helps someone else.

E class, C class
Just over 40k miles on my 05 E 350, nothing major, had to replace some rubber hose, those plastic plugs at the back of the cylinder head, and the COMMAND system lost its navigation function. Anyone suffering from creaking plastic trim at the base of the seats?

197,000 miles and looks and runs great. It is a diesel though but most of the issues are not diesel related. My wife says at 200,000 miles, I can get the rock pitted hood repainted. 
Overall, a reliable car but I do my own work so I'm biased. I have had a Fuel line leak, A/T pilot bushing leak, Differential seal leak, several windshields cracked, a bunch of glow plugs failed, EGR failure, and an SOS message due to a water leak.

If you think 40k is insanely low, check out these two.

Age is more of an issue than low miles when it comes to some stuff.
