defective spark plug...

You replaced ONE spark plug and now the remaining 5 old ones are firing well?
Try to service these parts all at the same time to keep track of mileage record.

Misfirings are bad for the exhaust cats, engine wear and promote bad ignition coils.

What scanner are you using... any other faults??

Yes
diagnostic reported cyclindar 6 Misfire noted that there are 2 plugs per coil pack.

After the one change I scanned and the fault was gone,
Other faults: ESP defective visit workshopNow and again that error would show...
I'm hoping the Misfire fix was also a connection to the esp fault.
Another thing I was add I prayed to Christ about this
Now that in good faith with the workflow process brings it up.

Scanner : Konnewei

Thank you for your advice

Aren't these plugs supposed to be swapped out about every 60K miles per Mercedes?
They ought to be like potato chips: You can't do just one...
