Check for rust, in the usual places e.g. wheel arches, bottom of doors and rear hatch, around windscreen seals front and rear, etc, but also check the underside of the car i.e. the suspension and cross-member etc.
Mercedes started galvanising their cars around early 2003.
Galvanised cars are not rust-proof, but they are less likely to rust.
So a late 2003 or a 2004 car would be a safer bet.
