Advice Welcomed: Maintenance for Pre-owned 08 C63
Hello everyone!
I am a newly registered member
, but have occasionally browsed on this website because of the wealth of information, thank you!
So long story short I recently purchased a used 2008 C63 with only 19,000 km! I know sounded too good to be true, I ran multiple VIN reports (Carproof, CARFAX, UVIP, etc) and everything added up.
What concerns me is that the only service records I have is that it’s first oil change and brake flush was done 2 years ago at 7,000 KM, and 11,000 KM.
As my last level of re-assurance I brought the car to my local Mercedes-Benz dealer. They issued the safety and recommended for me to do a Major Service-B which I approved for peace of mind. I explained my situation in buying this used car and requested for them to inform me anything that may be deemed as suspicious/fishy. After their inspection they said the car had no issues
. They also replaced the rear tail light bracket due to recent recall.
Main question – since the car is 2008, and has only had 2 oil changes and brake flush (will flush again soon) should I do any other preventative maintenance. Should I do anything to the transmission, diff oil, etc?
Thank you everyone… again all your helpful advice will be more than welcomed!

Your post is in the wrong forum. You need to repost in the W204 area to get better response.
