Had my 2012 ML350 for a year now. No issues
I bought my 2012 ML350 with 62kmiles exactly a year ago. Now She has 68700 miles. No issues whatsoever. Had the oil change and service done by non-MB dealer in January. Paid about $100.
according to carfax the brakes were serviced and front brake pads replaced at 57,658 miles in Jan 2019. Brake pads light came on but i think it's premature. I checked the pads they look like they would last another 2000 miles or so. what do you think? It seems the MB warning lights come on early? Just like the empty gas light comes on when you have about 50 miles range left.
Also How accurate is the mpg calculator? I don't always use premium gas but it seems my benz gets better MPG on regular gas. There's no knocking or any issues like that. So Far I love my MB ML 350. I only paid $15k cash with 62k miles about a year ago. She's a beauty!

Not sure about the brakes but could it be the rear brakes. As far a premium fuel, I have 2015 ML 350 with about the same mileage and have only used mid grade, Some on this site will call me a cheap ***. I have keep my mileage, which I figure manually since it had 6000 miles normal MPG has averaged around 21 mpg. Again, Im old fart and don't do any spirited driving. Still have original pads, battery etc on it.
