Which years are best for diesel?

I’m looking at a couple of different MLS (08-11) with around 70k miles. Is it better to have an 08 without the Urea, or one with it? I understand those are 09+. Any insight is appreciated. It’s not going to be a daily driver but would like it to last a while. Any items to look out for?

Without. Only without.

Lots of insight abs research is needed before you purchase so you go into this with eyes open.

The reason I chose the 2008 was no Urea and no run flat tires.

Would suggest you take any final candidate in to a Mercedes dealer and have them do a Pre-Purchase Inspection. Well worth the $200 or so.

Grab an Autel or an Icarsoft MB II scanner and take it with you, do a full code scan on any prospective purchase.
