Highest Mile S550 I’ve Personally Encountered

Recently visited my girlfriend’s family for Thanksgiving and my future BIL has a 221. I thought he was joking about the mileage but eventually provided me proof. 2011 MY.

I forgot to nab a photo of the VIN. I'll see if I can get it from him. I'll run a VMI and carfax and look at this thing. It was a livery car for quite some time but still, that number is insane!

A true testament to M272 reliability if properly maintained, unless a replacement engine happened at some point.

A testimony to Mercedes-Benz engines' robustness but I have also heard of Japanese engine could make beyond 250K miles with no drama .
If maintained well, it should make 250K miles with the OEM engine as well
Thanks for sharing and happy driving

That is nice to see. I have the same engine in my 2010 E550, but I only have 190000 miles on it…

This is incredible, can’t wait to see VMI on this one. At 130k I,m going to continue to abide by OEM recommendations (or less mileage or time to be safe). Inspiration to own longer term, thank you for posting,
