There's a no brainer if I ever heard one. If the engine runs OK at full throttle with no loss of power, it doesn't need the fuel filters changed.
So if we did the above test on 100 cars, how many would not pass the test? If it was not over 90%, it certainly would not be "MOST".

Here's erubin's statement from above:

He also stated it's been 10k miles since a filter change. Hence my conclusion that it could use a new filter, regardless of anything else.
BTW, EVERY (not "most") MB I've EVER pulled parts off of at junkyards had black filters that look orig or at least 5 years old. This is a different crowd, MOST owners of older MB's do NOT change their fuel filters when they should. That's where "most" comes in.
