dash lights question / see pic

hi all,
trying to vet out this w202 from online source..
do you see any issues with the dash lights?
there looks to be a blank light to the lower right of the speedo (center dial)
does this indicate a problem?
this is a 99 sport with almost 100k.

quick bullet points on other things to look for would help too.
i had one of these from new but returned the lease with only 40k
some years ago.

thanks , john.

high beam indicator

That's just the high beam indicator. It doesn't come on during start up...
Just ask for all paperwork for work done on the car. If they treated it right with plenty of TLC then car has a better chance of being good to you.
Check transmission shifting... (sometimes hard shifting, but extreme hard shifting is sign of either transmission going or MAF (or something else going)...
Nice car... good luck
