Rust is less common by 2009, but check carefully.
Lie underside with a torch.

The 115 has the preferable rear diff for cruising, less attractive for city stop / start.
The 115 has the higher power / torque map.

Check cold start for emissions. Smell for a sweet coolant smell.
Check around injectors for smelly black tar.

Be sure all electrics work correctly. SAM issues from water ingress aren't rare, but fairly easily resolved.

Consult Comand Online about adding the MB Comand unit, they're the experts.
I've a 4gig later Comand if interested.

You don't say auto or manual. A little more relevant to auto is to be sure it drives well and smoothly, especially gear changes.
What mileage, as atf (auto box) services should be regular.
