We look at the most popular Mercedes engines and give you the most and least reliable of the bunch.

In 1982, Mercedes-Benz unleashed its most reliable car ever, the 190E. The 190E resulted from Diamler's £600 million project to produce the bulletproof W201 and set the foundations for the W124. The 190E became the C-Class we know and love today, while the W124 was renamed the E-Class in the early '90s. Mercedes-Benz of the '70s and '80s regularly touted the phrase 'over-engineered' when marketing their products. A Greek taxi driver, Gregorios Sachinidis, proved this by taking his 1976 Mercedes-Benz 240D over 2.8 million miles.

However, today a Mercedes-Benz product has a 35.87% chance of requiring major repairs during its first ten years of service; this places them average among fellow luxury car brands. Adding further fuel to the fire is maintenance costs. For example, a product from Daimler will cost consumers around $15,986 during its first ten years in action, regarding maintenance and repairs.

Compare that to luxury industry leaders Lexus, who average $7,786 to maintain one of their products over the same period. Let's look at the best and worse power plants housed within a Mercedes-Benz engine bay to explain their fluctuating reputation.
