2. Gregorios Sachinidis’ 1976 Mercedes-Benz 240D – 2.85 Million Miles
Greek taxi driver Gregorios Sachinidis drove his 1976 Mercedes-Benz 240D to an incredible 2.85 million miles. Unlike many high-mileage personal vehicles, Sachinidis used his car both for personal travel and as a taxi, demonstrating the model’s toughness under demanding conditions.
In recognition of this feat, Mercedes-Benz awarded him a brand-new C-Class and placed his historic 240D in their museum. This car’s diesel engine and durable construction have made it a legendary example of longevity in the luxury car segment.
