200k of those miles in the first 4 years - that's some serious time spent pounding the road.

Euro 3 D5. They go pretty much forever if looked after. Wonder if it's still on the original transmission though.

One of the best standard fit stereo systems of the day, too.

Says in the ad somewhere it’s had a transmission rebuild.

Decent - thats been ran how I wish I could run my current shed. However on my own shed I'd never present my shed to an MOT test with fked tyres. This has been clearly run on a shoestring budget.

I equally respect it and hate it, in equal measures.

I'm surprised there are no advisories for rust on that Merc.

They must have really improved their corrosion resistance.

a manual too!

[Hugo Stiglitz]

A 19yr old Merc from the era of rampant rust starship miles with very little mention of rust? Sorry I'm sceptical about those mot's.

Spanish is such a strange choice for that car covering those miles.

Yeah was very surprised when I saw it. Always just assumed these we're auto only. Might be me but I feel like all Merc manual boxes are a bit st compared to BMW getrag / ZF units

Can do one better than that...



106k miles in a ID4 in 18 months... clearly an addison lee or similar car, but still!


you do get some interesting/odd stuff popping up in the auctions occasionally. like this... I mean it's not the most obvious car for the mileage is it!

Always wonder what the story is with base spec white goods cars with mega mileage like that.

I read one explanation that they are used by Coach companies to ferry drivers around the country (might be rubbish but would make sense that they've opted for the most miserable car to do it in). Might not be long trips but doubt the engine gets cold..

That'd make sense. There was a Skoda Rapid a number of years ago with nearly 410k miles on it at two years old. That belonged to a coach company ferrying drivers around.

Always wonder what happened to that Rapid. It did look very clean, but no number plates were shown in the ad, so I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up losing the majority of those miles...

If one wanted to rack up business miles at little cost that's the way to do it...

...and VWFS the right people to hand it back to because I can't imagine many others will want it now
