I have a 2012 and I just hit 80k. Must say I am really enjoying the car and haven't had a lot of issues. I bought a CPO car from Mercedes and had them replace the airmatic when purchased since it was sitting low on the lot. Besides oil and tires I just replaced the front and rear brakes (rotors, pads etc.) I hope to drive it for another 80k. How many miles do you have?

I had 175,000 miles on my 2012 e63. Car is gone now but it was great. Excellent car, very reliable . Considering a purchase on a 2015 s63 now.

175,000!!! i thought 150,000 on my 2010 e63 was a lot. Where is that car now?
Car accident last winter. Nobody was injured thank God. I was so pissed when the insurance wrote it off, the car was soo reliable. I picked up a new escalade for the the winter and it's been at the dealer for the past 3 months getting fixed. GM is scrap |
From what my friends in Germany and Europe tell me, it's not uncommon for M156 cars to have 2-300k kilometres on the clocks without drama and still being used as daily drivers.
I will never understand why people get so bent out of shape with mileage. I know it's an indication of use/wear, but a modern car with a good owner, it shouldn't be the be-all and end-all. Maintenance is key. |

Maintenance is key. Anyway, she just rolled 60k miles last week on our '12 E63. I imagine she's already saving for its replacement, but it'll be a while if I have any say over it. Love the looks of the '19 GT 4-door, but won't buy new when someone "competing with the Jone's" can take the initial hit. |
I just purchased a 14 with 35k miles. We're driving down 8 hours down to Florida this year and debating if I should take the E63. Anyone gone on a long road trip in theirs? Sorry if this is off topic. I can delete if needed.

Driven to south TX from north Houston a couple times. Google Maps shows about a 6 hour trip, but I generally make it in 4-4.5 hours. Never an issue. I'd check fluids & the spare (I know it's an inflatable compact, but look for cracks & whatnot) as per any vehicle ahead of a road trip. I suspect you won't have any issues.

With radar detector, laser jammer, Waze, and all that, right? Cities will be so much closer in a large state, and driving trips will be so much more enjoyable without speed traps. Speed traps: I refer to 'em as "legal highway robbery."

2014 E63S Parking Brake release

Blind spot assist sensors have been an issue for some including myself, I haven't fixed it yet. Also I notice that my parking brake does not want to release when it's cold outside. I use my left foot and pull the pedal back up while pulling the release handle at the same time, if that makes any sense to you. It only does this when it's cold outside and the car sits over night.

Sweet deal, I just purchased a 2014 E63 AMG S with 63k on the clock. Coming from a w221 S600, the last E I owned was an E550 4matic. The s600 like clock work has needed $1-3k of work every 15k miles. I remember with the E550 in 170k miles I had zero issues the entirety of owning the car. Anyone with a 2014-2016 with over 100k on it? Interested in knowing what to expect in terms of serious issues past 100k. I drive 40-60k a year and know that this E63 will have 100-200k very soon. |
