W124 is the Mercedes-Benz internal chassis designation reference for the 1985 to 1995 version of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Due to the high cost of German engineering and build quality, the model was designed to last many miles with awards won by high mileage versions. Front suspension is by way of a separate spring and damper whilst rear suspension features the Mercedes-Benz multi-link axle introduced in 1982 on the 190 and now standard on many modern cars. Much of the 124's engineering, along with many of its features, were advanced automotive technology at introduction and incorporated innovations that were adopted throughout the industry.

First registered in Germany in 1993, this left-hand drive automatic 7-seater estate, most likely a German taxi, was imported to UK in 1997, possibly by a serving officer of the British armed forces. Purchased by the vendor in April 2011, when registered as ‘L160 RMX’, with a long history of MOT passes, it was submitted to Europa Prestige MB independent garage in Sheffield for checking over and suspension work before being re-registered in the South of France as the vendor's holiday home transport. French Controle Techniques were passed when due and the Manx Vehicle Exam was passed in 2021. Comprehensive test and maintenance paperwork, invoices, certificates and a spreadsheet summary (2011 - May 2022) are with the car. A well-specified example with air con, sunroof, electric leather heated seats plus reversing sensors and also rides on standard 8-hole alloy wheels with Michelin tyres. Subject to steady improvement over the years it has benefitted from rear subframe removal, stripping and repainting, replacement spheres, rear suspension, fuel and brake pipes, work to the front steering and suspension as required, as well as routine maintenance. The mileage of c.176,000 miles (285,000km) is evident from the history on file and the UK MOT is valid until 26th June 2025. Offered with an owner’s manual, factory build sheet, Isle of Man Vehicle Registration Certificate (19.6.24), current MOT, IoM tax disc and assorted paperwork.

PLEASE NOTE: If a vehicle is registered in the Isle of Man, you need to send a completed form (V55) and the Isle of Man registration document for the vehicle to the DVLA. The vendor informs us you do not need to make an import declaration or NOVA application.
