What's the oldest part fitted to a current Merc?

Spotted a W124 part number on my 639 (new shape) Vito last night!

Anybody want to guess what it was?

Any other candidates for 'old part / new car' ?
 
Something to do with the registration plates?

Oldest parts in common use have got to be ordinary screws/nuts/washers.
 
It has to be the spare wheel drum in the boot which is a W124 part...
 
Wheel nut?
 
Wiper - no, the Vito has 2 (fitted with washer jets :cool:) rather than the single big one.

Door handle - nope.

Key - no, the Vito has the normal modern 'transponder' one.

Wheel bearing - could be, but no easily visible part number!

Number plate mounting - ditto

Wheel nut - ditto

Spare wheel is in an under-slung carrier (just replaced under recall, actually!) so not that either.
 
Dead fly on windscreen?


(this one is the great, great, great grandson of the W124 fly)


.
 
Lid of the windscreen washer reservoir?

I'm pretty sure the B-Class had one from a 124.
