Description
Key details:
Model: Mercedes-Benz 200T Auto Estate (W124/ S124 body)
First registered: 11 February 1988
Engine: 1997cc petrol, automatic
Colour: Cream
Body: 5-door estate
Mileage: + 300, 000
MOT: SORN (will need a new MOT)
Owners: In the same family since 1997 (29 years of caring ownership)
Only + 300, 000 miles on the clock. A proven warrior.
History and paperwork: This is where this car really stands out. It comes with its current V5C log book, service/ maintenance book, owner's handbook, and a large folder of receipts for work carried out over the years. A documented, long-owned car like this is increasingly hard to find.
Condition: Drove well when last used, but has been standing for most of a year, so it will need recommissioning (battery, fluids, brakes, tyres). Some age-related marks to paintwork, described honestly in photos. Bodywork solid but areas of rust as shown. A patch of moss in the boot due to a leak in the door seal. Idle for best part of a year. Please see the many photos and ask any questions — happy to help.
Includes new replacement Indicator lenses
Jump cables
SatNav
Tapedeck
Electric sunroof
Additional replacement blinker cases provided
Replacement rear windshield included
Multi CD player unit in boot
Euro Travel Kit, Hydraulic fluid, de-icer, anti-freeze etc all included in final photo.
Please note: the car is currently on SORN (declared off-road), so it is not taxed and cannot be test-driven on the road until taxed and MOT'd. Viewing is very welcome where it's kept, and buyers are welcome to arrange transport/ a trailer for collection.
Does it start and run right now? - Not currently (SORN)
How many keys come with it? - One
Interior condition: seats, headlining, dashboard. - Some areas of mould. Should be considered for refurbishment
Tyre condition, and any warning lights or known faults. - No known faults
How many former keepers? - 1 known previous owner.
A note for buyers: As a W124 estate, these cars have a strong and growing following. The car reaches MOT-exempt status in 2028 and historic (tax-exempt) status from April 2029, so it's a classic to enjoy now with cheaper running costs on the horizon.
Offered for private sale, sold as seen. Viewing very welcome in Coventry. Cash on collection or bank transfer. Any inspection welcome.
A lovely opportunity to own a genuine late-1980s Mercedes-Benz W124-generation estate — widely regarded as one of the best-built Mercedes ever made, from the era when they were engineered to last.
This car has a bit of folk music history. It was used for touring by Seán Cannon of The Dubliners, so it’s covered plenty of miles on the road to gigs over the years.
This 200T Estate is finished in an attractive cream, with the smooth 1997cc petrol engine and automatic gearbox (newly replaced 2025), making it a relaxed and comfortable classic to drive and enjoy.
