Serious risks
- Hot-V turbo oil leaks: Turbo oil lines and gaskets in the hot V area can leak — oil drips onto exhaust.
- Timing chain tensioner: Chain tensioner can weaken — chain noise on cold start.
- Car is 13 years old — expect age-related wear: rubber seals, bushings, water pump, AC compressor

Additional notes
- Mercedes M278 4.7 V8 twin-turbo with 100k+ km: timing chain tensioners and guides wear, causing rattling on startup. Chain is at the front but still expensive due to engine complexity. Also prone to: turbo actuator failure, air suspension issues (in S/CLS-Class), and expensive sensor failures. Budget €2,000-4,000 for timing chain service.
