MB - How many miles do you have?

Hello fellow MB enthusiasts,

I stumbled upon a similar discussion in another forum and thought it would be a great idea to kickstart something similar right here for our MBs. While forums naturally tend to focus on problems, let's also make sure we mention some positive aspects of our experiences. Though I am not sure how many people keep it to high mileages.

So, I invite you to share some details about your vehicles, including the year and model, as well as any repairs you've had to undertake. It would be cool if we could keep this thread alive and updated throughout the lifespan of our vehicles.

If you would like, use the following format:
  • Year / Model / Current mileage
  • Repair History

Feel free to add any years/models.

I'll start.

- 2018 GLC300 4matic at 77,800 miles

- Repair history: The only repair was for the P052E PCV valve at around 57k miles. Got the car at 57k miles with no history of any previous repair. I’ll keep posting at every oil change or at least every 10k, and maybe when it dies as I plan to drive it until it does.

PCV Valve and Sunroof Rails. From what I have read they were not uncommon problems

They were both covered, and luckily I had bought the extended warranty because they happened after 4 years / 50k

SL63
2001 SLK 320 (R170)
170,000 miles
2022 SL 63 (R232)
4,200 miles
If they outlive me, I estimate the SLK won’t get to 200,000 miles, yet still have at least that many miles left in it.
I estimate the SL won’t get to 50,000 miles.

2016 GLC300
2016 GLC300 4Matic with 69,000 miles

P052 Vent Valve replaced at 37,000 under warranty
Replaced Guide Tensioner/belt at 48,000 miles one week before the warranty expired
Fuel leak on a fuel line under car near driver foot area at 49,500
P052 Vent Valve replaced again at 55,000 out of warranty
Have had 3 of the 4 door handle LEDs go out. One repaired under warranty, replaced 2 of the others myself (dealer charges $700 to replace these)
Had one of the sunroof rail clip attachments break at around 60,000 miles. Instead of spending $2500 or so to have dealer replace both roof rails, I ordered a 3-D print part from a guy in France who figured out a way to make a part that you could fit in the rail and twist, thus able to make the repair without removing the headliner and rails (it turned a 6-hour repair into a 5-minute repair and it works)

Just got a reimbursement check for about $1250 or so from our dealer because MB extended vent valve warranty to 15 years and the fuel line warranty was extended to 10 years.

When did MBZ extend the vent valve coverage to 15 years?
Does this mean P052 error code is now covered?

September 2023 dated letter to registered owners.

Yes, in all likelihood the P052 code would fall under this new warranty extension.

87k miles as of today. All good. I’ll update again when I hit 100k.

2016 GLC 300 81k miles, loads of repairs done. Oil solenoid in oil pan, piston 2 cracked. sunroof motor initialization that wasn't stopping at the end stop and just forcefully tried to keep going making a nasty grinding sound, wiper arms absolutely slamming down after they reached the top position, PCV twice, intake manifold vacuum leak, getting a weird noise now that I don't know what it is yet, wiper wiring corroded, another wire corroded that had to do with the starting system and wasn't cranking or starting, steering wheel movement rod broke, fuel line leak underneath making it smell like fuel vapors in it in the winter, mirror welcoming lights, door handle lights, auxiliary battery, charge air cooler pump, loose center screen bolts, sway bar links twice. May be more that I'm not remembering off the top of my head right now.

Just turned over 30000 Km (18600mi)
No problems so far and it is a CPO car so hopefully everything is covered for the next 2 years.
