180k and still going strong..
I do remember when I first got the car it spend the first 3 years in and out of the dealership for repairs.. But now it runs like a champ
Could be all the Pepboys, Autozone, etc.. chinese knockoff crap 
No more OEM after warranty expires

108k on my folk's '99 ML430. No problems, runs just fine. Though there are some ugly rust spots on the body, ugh. Same on their '01 S500...MB's paint quality sure isn't all there

1999 ML430 has 103K. She's in the shop now for plugs, wires, transmission fluid change/flush or whatever they do to it, brake fluid flush, coolant flush, oil change and a new windshield wiper fluid plastic box thingy (mine had a leak). I do have a few rust spots here and there. So far nothing too big. I hope she lasts until well over 200K (knock on wood).

Something I absolutely love
2004 ML500
56,365 miles and still running strong.
Issues and Fixes:
Transmission replaced at 25,000 miles.
Transmission fluid replaced at 30,000 miles (hose leak).
Headlamps replaced at 40,000 miles (seal break in both).
Rear ended at 48,000 miles by an F-150 doing 15 or 20 (Bumper Replaced).
Rims recovered after dealer did not lock down the weights properly (Left gashes in all four rims all the way around).
Engine mounts replaced at 49,500 miles (one came loose).
I used to drive the hell out of it, but now it is my play car and not my daily driver. I plan to keep this baby even after the wheels fall off for the first time!

It is so, I plan to put on all kinds of AMG gear on my ML I like the design and the way AMG portrayed on Mercedes in general. I will even drop an HPS supercharger in it when I can mentally end up paying $7500 for it. For now, I like all the AMG stuff I have on the car. The badges, neck rests, and soon to be aluminum pedals.
