2015 ML350 bluetech

Good day. I just joined MBworld and this is my first time on this forum.
I’m Muzi from South Africa.
I’m currently driving a C200 W203 Avantgarde and so far I have not encountered any problems except for the engine light that comes on a few kilometers after filling up the tank.
I’m looking at buying a 2015 ML350 bluetech with a mileage of 90000KM, I just need some expert advice on this vehicle, it’s reliability and the problems that come with purchasing a used 2015 ML350.

Thanx in advanve

Welcome. I have a 2014 of the same, but I have only had it a little over a week. Before that it was my father in law's and he has had great performance out of it.

Welcome!
I have 2014 BT with 101K miles on it. But its irrelevant to some degree highway vs stop and go. Also OM642 engine is very sensitive and maintenance is the key. Make sure the car you has all records. I do oil changes every 3.5K miles vs 10K by the maintenance book.

If you look in this forum deeper you will find similar question and general answers were avoid BT and go with gas version.
There is an option do remove all BT components which should make this car very reliable, but it all different story.
