Picking up a low mile 2012
So I’m not super familiar with the E350 (DI V6) but have been catching up quickly. Car has 31k miles and obviously is super clean. She is a 4matic car as well. What would you check over? Maybe axle boots or other plastic items just because of age.
I plan on having all the fluids changed the MB if I get it.
I’m going to change the stock AMG wheels and I’d assume the tires are drying out as well.

Get the maintenance records.
I would not do more, than regular maintenance sheets say.
Coolants on those cars are good for 15 years.

if you are in a rust prone area, worth eyeballing the rear subframe and rear springs for corrosion.
