200 miles a day, every day of the week for 3 and a half years solid! That's good going! Wonder if anyone will take a punt on it ?
Brilliant, only 3 years old aswell! Why are high mileage cars cool in some way, always thought this.

I would give this a go definitely if I was in the market, along as FSH adds up and condition is all there, why not - looks honest enough to be sitting on that mileage, better than one that's been clocked.

Wouldn't pay that for it though, would need to be a fair bit haggled off for me....£8k maybe.

Amazing - doesn't look like anyone has ever sat in that let alone done 1/4 million miles in it!

Bloody hell 1.2mkm!!!! That’s epic.

I wonder if I have been in that one. Used to travel to German a fair amount, 2017-2019, and airport taxi company always used these for groups of us.

Should add the drivers weren’t gentle.

That's lunacy levels of mileage! Whoever looked after that at Mercedes certainly saw it regularly enough. I wonder how many sets of brakes, tyres, and in this case, clutches it's had.

This one is currently in Slovakia, and seems highly priced. EUR 17,000 seems a lot for 1.2 million clicks. laugh

We had a couple of the latest shape 2019 Audi A1’s come back this week from a company. One has done just over 100k and genuinely looks like 10k inside and out.
with lock down, just how ?

100k in two years... 136 miles every day for two years ?

I always think it doesn’t sound bad when you look at it as a daily mileage!

Only 2 hours a day of being on the motorway.

That's my cup of tea but still asking too much money.

Didn't a lot of these V90's appear a few months ago with high mileages.

Ex Virgin airlines?

THIS 2017 Jag XJ Autobiography is up for £21,995 - and has 167,000 miles.

Couple of alarms are going off - the wheels are wrong for that trim level, but obviously can be changed - but also the car had its first MoT at about 50k, then nothing for 2 years, now has 167k on it...

Also Auto Trader thinks it’s £6k overpriced. Their algorithm may be slightly askew, but it’s definitely not worth £22k IMO[url]

About 500 miles per day - probably fairly typical for something like a long distance airport taxi for example?
Looks in impressive condition though.

We used to use an executive taxi company in Brum. All Mercedes e class, often drivers take cars home as well, 150k miles after 18 months but they only kept them for 2 years max. One diver told me longest driving he had done in a day was Brum to Exeter and back then Brum to Heathrow and back x 2. Nearly 800 miles in a day but in a nice car not a van.

Place I used to work used a similar firm for airport transfers, again E classes just doing airport runs all day/night for businesses and nothing else.

One of their drivers told me they had them for 300k and after that (!) they were transferred to a subsidiary that did the vomit comet private hire circuit around town.

All these high mileage diesel taxis are one thing, but imagine doing 250,000km in 5 years in this...

How about a Volvo V70R on 236,500 miles. Not too odd, but the way it racked up the miles was. Used as an airport taxi...

Having once owned a later V70 T6, I would imagine 236,000 miles to be purgatory...
