My mechanic said the compressor is weak and he could not get any reading codes on the scanner. A/C is not blowing cold air. He wants me to buy a new compressor. Is there such thing that the compressor is weak?

When compressor wears out, it will not deliver the required pressure, so you can call it weak.
I would seek 2nd opinion. MB compressors last very long time.
What is the mileage?

Variable output compressors takes some knowledge to troubleshot and the car system has about 8 sensors that affect the output.
For full troubleshooting you need the sensor readouts with cold car engine off and then on hot day when you turn AC on.
I am happy to have clmatronic where I can read the sensors while driving, but for some reason MB deleted the option on standart W211
