Oh yeah, definitely.

German cars of the past are the epitome of “durability, not reliability”. Now they no longer have that durability, but have increased reliability in the first part of ownership I think.

My old E-class must’ve had like 700k km or more in reality (it’d been nicely adjusted to <400k km, but some modules showed higher mileage… hmmmmmm) and the engine still ran just fine, transmission shifted just fine… But the power steering failed, sunroof leaked and ruined the sunroof control module, and the parking sensors didn’t really work either… Oh and I had the dreaded injector seal issue multiple times.
