Not if my CLK 320 is anything to go by, I bought it with 189k on the clock showing 17,400 miles overdue! Not very good but it seems to have taken no hurt from the experience, the motor is very sweet at 192k.
not in itself... get the codes read..

I didn't bother change my oil for 126k, apparently it took a while to drain out, mechanic was not impressed.

My C43 took 27000 kms before asking for an oil change. Drives perfectly, but I never use it on any short runs, so always get up to optimal driving conditions. Also use Mobil1 exclusively.

My Jeep Wrangler had one on average every 600 miles (that's how quickly it all leaked or burnt off!)
On the other end of the scale, my W202 C200 (mk1) was 20000 miles overdue when I got it and I drove it another 15000 before I got it serviced - made no tangible difference but I did 'supervise' and everything in the service schedule had been done properly.

By the same token, just because it has been reset it doesn't mean it has been serviced.

Didn't seem to do it any great harm, and think of the money I've saved by not servicing it.
