- Severe RustSerious
The W210 generation is notorious for catastrophic corrosion due to Mercedes-Benz adopting water-based eco paints alongside inadequate factory anti-corrosion primer in the mid-1990s. Front spring perches, wheel arches, sill jacking points, door bottoms under rubber weatherstrips, and boot lock apertures suffer severe structural perforation.
- 722.6 Conductor Plate FailureModerate
The 5-speed 722.6 electronic automatic gearbox suffers from failed speed sensors on the internal plastic electro-hydraulic conductor plate. Furthermore, the 13-pin transmission wiring plug pilot bushing O-rings degrade, allowing ATF to wick up the wiring loom straight into the transmission control module in the passenger footwell.
- Front Suspension Upper Spring Perch DetachmentSerious
A lethal structural safety flaw on the W210 chassis is rust developing between the inner wheel arch panel and the spot-welded front upper coil spring perch cup. Severe hidden corrosion causes the welds to tear away completely, resulting in sudden suspension collapse and tyre rubbing.
