60k Mile Major Services? W166 ML550
My 2013 babied ML550 hit 60k miles, so I went thru and performed the following maintenance. Wanted to see if anything else you recommend, or if I missed something (I do the work myself to ensure it is done, and done right ;-))
1. Oil and Filter change
2. Coolant flush and replace
3. Brake fluid flush and replace.
4. Rear brake replace (fronts still good).
5. Transmission and torque converter Drain and replace fluid.
6. Transmission filter, pan, bolts and gasket replace/clean.
7. Engine air filters replaced.
8. Cabin air filters replaced
9. New tires + alignment.
10. Main and Aux battery replacement.
11. Front airmatic pump air filter (rear pump doesnt seem to have filter since inside cabin?)
Was thinking of replacing serpintine belt, but appears in good shape, and dealer doesnt see need to replace it yet?
Have I missed anything that should be done at almost 10 years (early 2013 model delivered November 2012) and 60k miles?

Agree on axles and t/case fluid replacement.
Spark plugs (not on your list)
Front and rear wipers
At 10 years I would do the serpentine belt.
Treat all aperture seals with Gummi Pflege (Google it)
Verify sunroof drains are functioning
Exercise rear door sunshades and luggage roller cover. I use them a couple of days per month so that they get some use and remain functional.
