Lowest Mileage
Hey All.. Since there is thread for high mileage and repairs.. why not have a thread of Low Mileage listed along with unexpected repairs ( under or over warranty) and maintenance ( regular as well as extra )
I guess it might help owners to be prepared to expect the unexpected.

2013 C350 with 55,335 miles, purchased with 38,893 miles 2 years ago.
Had warranty work done for premature peeling of the steering wheel trim and e-brake not pulling all the way up after pulling the lever.
Only thing that was paid for out of pocket was maintenance. Cars been great to me.

A car
48,000 km (2012 model)
All warranty covered:
New front struts and suspension components after it made a weird thunking noise driving over bumps
New side light bulb in the front bumper (burnt out early)
Replaced accelerator pedal (sensor?) <--Don't remember what this was called
Added clips for the parking cable for noise reduction
Updated comand maps (at my cost $)
Everything else was the usual stuff. (oil, filters etc)

Just a suggestion if I may - perhaps it'd be helpful to put the model year of your vehicle if it's not in your profile. Reason being: On low mileage cars, usually it's the age of the vehicle which causes parts to fail, as opposed to the miles

2007 W204 220CDI Classic Sedan
Ours is a Oct.2007 Sindelfingen built 220CDI, first registered in Jan 2008 & just has turned over 99,000 km.
I maintain it myself including during the warranty., only problem was a thermostat replacement at about 90,000 Km.
Original AGM Varta battery still in.

Here I am in a 2012 car thinking that I'm going to replace the battery before winter.
How's the weather where you live?
It can get as cold as -20C to as hot as 35'C (out of the sun). If your weather is fairly the same, then that's good to know for me as then I'll leave the car.
My car was parked for almost 3 years after buying it (long story, job changed after I bought the car and I lived on airplanes/hotels exclusively). So I have no idea when my battery is going to die on me b/c it sat in a garage.

The car has a run once or twice a week so the battery has an idyllic life.It is also located in the boot so not exposed to engine heat.

But yes, good to know. Given the weather provided in the link in your post, consider yourself a lucky guy! I'd love to have weather like that. That literally is the best weather for a car to live in
