Thoroughly inspect for rust, especially on wheel arches, door bottoms, and underbody. Check service history for rust prevention.
Pay close attention to engine noise (especially M271 for timing chain rattle) and check for oil leaks around the engine and transmission.
Test all electronics: windows, lights, climate control, instrument cluster. Look for 'check engine' or 'SRS' lights.
During a test drive, check for smooth shifts in automatic transmissions. Any jerking or delayed engagement could indicate issues.
Get a pre-purchase inspection from a Mercedes-Benz specialist to identify hidden problems.
