The W123 version of the 240D in particular is considered one of Mercedes-Benz's most reliable models due to its low-tech, easy-maintenance design, relatively thick metal sheets and sturdy, robust wear-and-tear parts. The engine's low power output compared to its volume is another contributing factor to the car's exceptional life span. The 240D is renowned for often traveling several hundred thousand kilometers or more in its life. The record holder, a W115 240D acknowledged by Daimler-Benz and on display in their Stuttgart museum, clocked 4.6 million kilometers between 1976 to 2004, mostly working as a taxi based in Thessaloniki. During this time the owner was able to call upon the original engine and two spare units, deploying them on a rotational basis 11 times in total. Mercedes made badges available for their cars to mark each 250,000 kilometers the car had traveled. 240Ds are often seen in west Africa as taxis and bush taxis covering hundreds of kilometers daily. In some parts of northwestern Africa, notably Mauritania and Morocco, they make up over half the cars on the road. -WIKIPEDIA
