Always perform a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a Mercedes-Benz specialist, focusing on rust points and engine/transmission diagnostics.
Verify service history meticulously, especially for timing chain replacement (M271) or transmission fluid changes (7G-Tronic).
Check for rust, particularly on early models, around wheel arches, door bottoms, and trunk lid. This can be a significant hidden cost.
Pay attention to engine noise (rattling indicates timing chain issues on M271) and transmission behavior (harsh shifts, delays).
Test all electronic components, including windows, climate control, infotainment, and especially the steering lock mechanism.
Consider buying a facelift model (post-2011) to mitigate some of the earlier generation's common issues, including rust prevention and updated electronics.
