Just picked a GL550 2013 with over 95K miles and discovered a code for the turbo,
should I be worried about

any known issues for this model or simply for high mileage?

Thanks in advance

Congratulations on the purchase! Please post a photo of the GL. A knowledgeable member will be along shortly. In the meantime, try searching this site. There aren't any common issues that haven't been written about here.
