That's a lot of miles. I've owned an E270 and it's a great engine (more low down torque than straight six E320 CDI).
At least you can be sure it hasn't been clocked!
The only thing I'd be asking is how often it was serviced, and the usual maintenance - brakes (esp. EBC unit), turbo, etc etc.
You can bet as an airport taxi it's been up and down the motorway!

It's a 2004 car so 415k isn't much.
Dr Nick bought an E300TD with over 400k miles on it in four years.

Same engine as that's in the 312 Sprinter and I've seen one with 720,000 and the only thing that was stopping it was the rust.
Looks like a bargain - even if it does feel that mileage.
Another year or two, 100,000 miles and throw it in the bin and your quids in.
That driver must have a sore leg from driving that or are the clutches very light in this age of car (I thought MB manuals were shyte?)?

We have a 2005 E220 W211 that's on 500k.
52K a year for a 'normal' car I would think IS quite a lot...
My brother does 55 - 60K miles a year and sometimes fills up twice a day, that is a lot of miles. He's in Mainstone one day, Glasgow the next and so on...
He was at a filling station one day and has to give his millage in (fuel card) and said 40,000 (the car was just over 6months old) and a policeman in a patrol car behind said flippin heck you do almost as many miles as us.

If the final bid price remains cheap then i'd certainly risk it for what you get. not that i will be as i'm happy with my current fleet.
By the way it says "Airport Lynx" on the door.
What am I missing?
It says that on the door, it says it's an airport taxi in the advert and it's being sold by cambridgeairportcars.

One of out staff did 275k miles in three years in his Peugeot 406.
Of course Dr Nicks car wasn't a normal car, it was a 300TD.
