This has been my expierence for two weeks on my used C32:
1. Air Pump issues - not sure if you can check for it, but be aware of it. Causes CEL.
2. Squeaking bushings on Sway Bars
3. Check Power Steering for leaks, finding the fluid is difficult since it is MB fluid compatible only.
4. 2002 transmission shift concerns. Can update software or live with it. Mine does it, but not a big concern to me.
5. SOS Malfunction - not a malfunction if the service is not active. MB will tell you it cannot be turned off. There are posts here that give you possibilities. I have not pursued it.
These are the things I have found that I think you might run into based on my short expierence.
