Advice/Opinions - changing E240 for ML320

Howdy, All
I have a '99 E240 (white), which is in a good condition (except for a misfire that's got me baffled!), and recently found a 2000 ML320 for sale, which I am interested in. It has 150 000 km on the clock, bodywork in good condition, except for a scratch on the bonnet, and the engine looks clean, and well maintained, and apparently has a full service history (still need to see the service book, though).
What are the basic, known issues that I need to look for on this model, to determine whether I get serious about it, or walk away?
