Angry ABC strut failure

My CL500 has just failed its MOT test because the nsr ABC strut was leaking oil and is not repairable.Cost to renew via an independent will be £1641 GBP inc fitting and tax.My problem is that this strut was part of 4 fitted only 20,000 miles ago and the other 3 are ok.What type of mileage should you expect from these struts? Mercedes Benz Uk do not want to know - they say warranty is limited to 2 years regardless of mileage.This is stupid because you could do say 50,000 miles in 23 months and you would still be covered - whereas my car is limited weekend use only @ say 4-5,000 miles pa.Looks like you get penalised for not driving enough!
