What to check on an Mercedes-Benz W126

These are the known weak points of the W126. Every seller here answers them one by one before their car can go live — so you can compare two cars on the same terms.

  • Rust at the sunroof, front wings and behind the rear wheel arches
  • Head gasket and timing chain on M117 V8
  • Vacuum leaks affecting locking and heating
  • Hydraulic self-levelling on SEL models
  • Fuel distributor and warm-up regulator on K-Jetronic
  • Wood and leather trim condition, expensive to restore

Is it genuine? What buyers check on a W126560 SEC and 500 SEC differ in engine and trim only, so check the data card. AMG cars from the period were dealer conversions — genuine ones have documentation from AMG Affalterbach.

Buying a Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL

The W126 was built between 1979 and 1992, which is why it belongs here: 80s90s.Club lists a car when its generation was in production at any point between 1980 and 1999. A 1979 car and a 1992 car are both welcome; what decides is the generation, never the year on its own.

Every W126 listed here carries the same checklist, answered by the seller line by line, and a Logbook tied to the car's chassis number rather than to whoever happens to own it. Contact the seller directly — we never hold your money and never take a cut.
