Post 2006 are galvanised. You shouldn't have problems with rust.

No. As already said, they are galvanised. There was an issue with some having the chrome strip above the number plate being over tightened (over a period of production) which caused rust in that area but MB issued a fix for that…stopped over-tightening, apparently, and issued a repair fix involving an adhesive clear plastic seal/gasket.
Yours should be fine.
