There are a few 1985 MY W201 that were built in in late 84 that didn't have the dual nozzle hood, jumping wiper, etc., but nearly all 85's have the updated wiper, windshield, cowl, and hood.
As for reliability, much depends on how the previous owner(s) maintained the car. We were the original owners of an '85 190E, got the 250KM badge, but did have to do the routine maintenance and refresh of the suspension bushings, ball joints, etc. That's to be expected of a multi-decade car.
