Looking at 2012 C300 with only 60K (km)

Hi everyone
I'm in the market for a used Mercedes and have come across a 2012 C300 with only 60,000km (in Canada). So very low mileage for a 10 year old car. I haven't seen it yet but plan on going to check it out sometime this week. I'm new to Mercedes never having owned one before but have always loved the brand.
Anything I should look out for with this model during the test drive? Any other tips on purchasing a used C300 from this era?

Thanks

Mine is 2011 C300 Sports, now at 63000 miles. I bought it new therefore I have no ideal what to look for when buying a used C300.
So far there are two failures, the stuck-open thermostat and the broken Comand control knob shaft. I replaced both myself. Other than those the car has always been wonderful with my virtually zero complaint.

Don’t forget the steering lock, and subframe for those on salted roads.
