Am I missing something?

Pretty sickening story, how old is the the car?

My Mercs have been as good as gold but it looks like bad news if they do get cranky.

As per one of the the photo's .... 07 plate

My E280 was 07 and never missed a beat (apart from a new battery) but I traded it in a few months ago with only 67k on the clock, but since 49k of that had actually been towing  I thought  it was time to change. It wasnt an easy decision as I feel sure its got enormous mileage left  in it  but I dont want to be 1500 miles from home if I found out different.

I sold my last towcar with 180 000 miles on it. I'd still have hooked up & gone anywhere with it. I thought 10 yrs with the same car was enough though.

Up until about ten years ago, it was common to have a bumper strip along car doors to protect against these 'supermarket prangs'. Fashion seems to have prevailed over utility.
