#1 of 4 Could a Mercedes Benz C, E or S class (non diesel) go over a Million Miles? by stephenabelson Oct 16, 2008 (8:06 am)
Any thoughts on whether or not a Mercedes Benz C, E or S Class (not diesel engines) could drive over one million miles on the original engine with proper maintence maintained throughout the cars life, garaged and treated well?    Has anyone seen a Lexus with one million miles? Everyone always talks about how reliable and long living the Japan cars are, like Lexus, Toyota & Honda but I personally have not seen any with a million miles. I have seen a Mercedes Benz with over a million miles on the original engine, also a VW and the guy with the record for having the most miles on a car is a guy driving a Volvo from the 1960's.
#3 of 4 Many million mile Corollas worldwide by ck90211 Jan 12, 2009 (8:03 pm)
There are lots of gasoline Corollas and Coronas (worldwide) with over 1 million miles, mainly in Southeast Asia and Africa. What's more exceptional is their gas quality is often bad, with impurities that would make a German car (or any high compression engines) cavitate, and have awful road conditions. There are also a lot of Land Cruiser (old FJ's) worldwide over 1 million miles but I think they probably got Diesel in them.   I had a late model C and E before, and while the inline 6 engines are very robust, and should go 400-500K miles without a rebuild, many other things will go out costing a lot more (transmission, electricals, relays, AC, etc.). There are simply too many electronics, sensors and solenoids in the late models, for them to be maintained/repaired cheaply by an independent shop. And dealerships will break you because they just love non-warranty services.   So I don't think you will see that many million mile MB's because it is no longer economically feasible to do so.

It's conceivable that an engine that is properly maintained could go for 1 million miles. Same as anyone living to 100 years old.
