Exceptional fuel efficiency on this W212

That mileage is quite significant! Although it may seem counterintuitive, if this car had a history of being used as a shared taxi among drivers on rotating shifts in a past life, then covering 300 miles per day is not an implausible figure. However, accumulating almost a million miles on a relatively new vehicle is rather remarkable.Impressive

In terms of mechanical condition, it is likely to be in better shape than a vehicle of the same age that has only been driven 1000 miles a year for weekly trips to Tesco or the National Trust vehicle park. There are no occurrences of cold start cycles or moisture in the exhaust.

Perhaps... yet, they cannot escape the accumulated wear of roughly one million kilometres on each component in motion. The suspension components should have been changed several times. However, the engine and gearbox bearings, assuming they are still original, will likely exhibit signs of wear at this point. Indeed, it is possible that the situation is like to Triggers broom, with the replacement of four engines and five gearboxes.

That is really outstanding, particularly given the age of the car.

Well-maintained and efficiently used motor. I am curious about the authenticity of their intentions and the underlying reason of their actions. Is there a taxi available? Driver? It is uncertain.
