2012 S350 Bluetec 4Matic Potential Problems

Hi there, I’m currently looking at a 2012 Mercedes-Benz S350 BlueTec 4Matic that has 91.000 miles. May I know what potential problem does this kind of cars have? what to look for when I inspect this car? And is this a good car for a long term ownership after it hits 100.000? Thank you

I am also very interested in knowing the expense of owning an over 100000 mile 2012 S350.

Bought in 2014 with 90km on it, 4 years later at 160km there has been no problems except audio issues and a very recent oil coolant leak.
