Things to check

- Recurring Suspension Failures: Both nearside and offside front coil springs fractured in Aug 2020, indicating a systemic weakness.
- High-Risk Timing Chain: Mercedes-Benz models, especially this generation, are known for timing chain issues, which can be expensive to repair.

Working in its favour
