I agree. MB were very fine cars which were built for long term serviceability. I looked in the engine bay of a MB 2018, and it looked as if that engine was installed with a shoe spoon. There was absolutely no room in that engine bay. I'm guessing that if you wanted to change a belt, you'd have to drop the entire front end and the engine. No way would I keep a new one past the initial manufacturers' warranty.
