Mercedes Benz High Mileage Badge – Award Requirements and Application Information for Your High Mile Mercedes

Do you have a high mileage Mercedes-Benz vehicle? I see a lot of cars with more than 250,000 kilometers (155,000 miles) on their odometers that are eligible for a cool grille badge from Mercedes-Benz, many owners don’t realize these awards are available, a neat ittle trinket to dress up your car and show some pride in your ride.
Mercedes-Benz first introduced the High Mileage Award in the 1960s to recognize the Mercedes-Benz vehicles still on the road that reach well over 100,000 miles, with some even passing the 1 million mile mark. The program continues on today.
If your car is over 155,000 miles, you are eligible for a 250,000km grille badge, there is a list of each milestone below. You can download a High Mileage badge application here at MBUSA. Part of the process is having your mileage verified, any Mercedes-Benz dealer can do that, then you send in your application. The Mercedes-Benz Classic Center will send you a certificate and grille badge.

155,000 miles (250,000 kilometers)

According to MBUSA: “The current Mercedes-Benz High Mileage champ is Gregorios Sachinidis, a Greek taxi driver who holds the known record of more than 2.8 million miles in his 1976 Mercedes-Benz 240D.”
How did I know the high mile champ would be driving a diesel?

Just tried to get an application – link is not working. (1987 300 SDL – >375K miles
It already has a 250,000km badge on it, but I wanted to get a 500,000km one.)
Hi there, Congrats on your high mile diesel, and thanks for your note. I just checked these links, they seem to work for me… at least they take me to the MBUSA website… after that, it’s up to them I guess. Have you applied for your badge?
