Is that a MY2010? if so , no worries - the balance haft issue only affected MY2006 and half of MY2007.

M272 V6 engines up to serial number 30-468993 are in the range for potential premature balance shaft failure. That car's engine is outside that range so it's ok.

You can decode the VIN using this: https://www.vindecoderz.com/EN/Mercedes-Benz
