My Mercedes turbodiesel recommended based on my driving (almost all long highway) 25k miles per oil change and something like 7,500 miles on oil filters. I couldn’t do this long but over 250k miles, did eventually allow myself to go 12k miles.
the only issue I’ve had with it is the brakes squeak sometimes. They work fine but it annoys me and they say it’s “normal”.
the only time it failed me was when the battery died after 100k miles.
It’s been an amazing car. Just oil changes, filter changes, and the only part I’ve replaced is a voltage regulator for 500 bucks.
Same dealer charges 185 to do the oil change on my c300 4matic but I typically bring in a genuine Mercedes filter.
Maintenance has been a bit pricey, front and rear air suspension, front and rear brakes, valve body in the trans failed and had the oil cooler leak.
Installed all new rotors, pads and remanned calipers on my family’s 2010 Mercedes ML-350. After a 20 mile test drive/bedding the pads with no noise or obvious problems, I noticed one of the rotors isn’t making complete contact with the brake pads. Same problem is on both sides of this rotor. The other 3 seem to be functioning perfectly and held up enough that I didn’t notice a problem braking. The pads seem to be touching the rotor and were installed firmly and in the right directions. Plenty of brake parts lube was used, and all nuts/pins were torqued to spec. I bled all 4 brakes with my brother in law to the best of my ability and plan to try that again on just this wheel.

I had the same problem. My car was brand new too but was sitting for a bit before it was sold to me. I brought it in to get charged a few times but the message was still coming up and I was definitely driving it enough. Eventually they just changed the battery under warranty.
The batteries Mercedes uses seem to be really poor quality. I have a daily class and it seems they are changing the battery every 1.5 years so far on average…
