GLE 43 AMG - What to be aware of when purchasing used

Hi.

I am checking out a 2017 GLE 43 AMG SUV with about 150K KM.
What are known issues or things to watch out for (or be aware of) when buying this vehicle?
  1. If the vehicle was maintained properly, what parts the previous owner should have replaced by this age/mileage? For example: spark plugs, etc. That is, if they didn't, it would be overdue, and I'd need to budget for those.
  2. What parts should I be prepared to replace within the next 12-18 months given the age and mileage of the vehicle? These would be the parts that usually need replacing at a certain age/mileage.

Thanks much!

Transmission fluid should be done already (twice? At that mileage), spark plugs like you mentioned, differential fluid, transfer case fluid, brake fluid every other service, coils, coolant, might be too early but transmission mount and motor mounts, shocks should still be good, obvious things like brake pads and rotors, tires, alignment, tire balancing, engine air filters, cabin air filter, activated charcoal cabin air filter (beneath the glovebox), polv v belt, check all belts, 12V battery might still be in good condition, auxiliary battery.

Those are off the top of my head I might had missed many things though.
