I'm looking to buy a 2002 C32, it has ~27K miles and the pre-purchase report has flagged the following:
Left Front Hub Bearing has play 1/16
Right rear ? splash was broken
Spare tire missing (did the 2002 even come with one?)
Engine Oil Stick Missing
Should I be concerned as the price is good (~$33K) or should I walk away?
Any help is appreciated.
Yours
Ian
Sorry for multiple posts, wasn't sure which forum to post in.

If I am not mistaken, 2002 came with an inflatable tire kit and I do not believe W203 comes with oils sticks at all.

Price is decent.

Who did your pre purchase report?

PEP Boys
My real concern is the front bearing, should it be showing signs of wear/movement after so few miles?

even if you buy it just take it to the dealer to fix it they have to under warranty thats a reall good price though

My concern is that it's really a symptom of a bigger problem (or really bad previous owner) that won't be covered by the warranty (wear items etc.)

Just the tire repair kit

Possible wear and tear. My question is what does Pepboys advise on the front bearing issue? Is it a major red flag to them? Surely if that is the only major problem found depending on the thoroughness of the examination of the car, then I would say that it is a good buy.

Take it to someone who knows merdedes for your ppi. Just my opinion

Bearing has been fixed by MB under warranty, just waiting for the dealer to fax the VIN history report and we should be good to go
