At my car's last service I was told that the poly v belt was wearing and should be changed, as the bill was already quite significant, I said that I would get it done later.

How critical is this?

How easy/difficult is it to check it for myself?

TIA
 
It is critical and very straight forward on your car.

If the belt is worn change it.
 
Ask a friend to help you. put the spanner onto the tensioner bolt and pull up then slide off the old belt then put back the new one. You can leave the fan on. Make a note of how the belt is fitted before remove...could help a lot :)
 
The owners' handbooks of each Mercedes I have had has shown how to change drive belts .
