A Romanian automotive serviceโ recently showcased the extensive repairs needed on a Mercedes-Benz E-class taxi with over 800,000 kilometers (approximately 497,000 miles) on its odometer,โ originally imported from Germany. PiataAuto.md documented the vehicle’s condition and the work required to restore it.
The Mercedes,โ a W212 generation model powered by aโ 2.1 diesel engine, exhibited meaningful rustโฃ on the rear axle, necessitating the cutting โof corroded bolts for repair. Despite the high mileage and apparent โlack of consistent maintenance, the service โnoted theโ typical durability of these Mercedes vehicles, even with the engine’s known susceptibility to timing chain issues. Theโข extensive โdisassembly planned for the vehicle will revealโข the full extent of its condition.
