150,000 !
My 2014 E250 hit 150,000 miles today.
Fuelly states that my average MPG has been 38mpg over that time. My best ever tank was 44mpg.
I do my own oil and filter changes and I haven't had any mechanical issues since my 140,000 update.
I obviously drive quite a bit, and I've owned quite a few commuter cars--this is by far the best one I've ever had. Still tight, no creaks or rattles. That's one reason I'm bummed about diesel being dropped by most manufacturers.

Great news to read. Congrats of the fault free service. It should be good to go for another 150,000, now.
Wish we could read more news like this, instead of all the quirky problems that lead people to conclude these are problem cars. They aren't for the vast majority, like this one.
To date, I've spent less than $1,200 in (non-mtce) repairs to my C320, and it has 110,000 miles on it.

Congrats on the many happy and safe miles!
What kind of oil are you using? What are you doing in addition to oil changes?
Thanks for sharing!

My 05 CDI had 250k used Fuchs oil exclusively. Using Fuchs on my E250 too.
Grill badge was nice it went with the car when sold.
