2008 GL550 Timing Chain and other questions

Hey !

Sorry if this was mentioned before, couldn't find anything related to my question

Purchased a 2008 Mercedes GL550, been driving it for 2 months now.

It currently has 141k on the clock

No major issues really, replaced engine/trans mounts, and did some suspension work. Previous owners took care of all air struts, compressor, and steering rack.

My question is, what should I expect to go bad in the next 10-20k miles?
I am more concerned about pricy things such as timing chains or anything engine/transmission related.

What's the typical mileage for the timing chains to go on these cars?

Thanks in advance!
