Holy hell that list reads more like an Audi's repair history than a Mercedes' (M-class excepted ). Must've been a Monday/Friday car during Oktoberfest or something. Should be a good car for your wife if the last owner had no issues, though.

I suggest picking up a crank position sensor and replacing it ASAP as a precautionary measure (it's at the right mileage for it to fail, there's a 50/50 chance of it giving you any warning before it fails, and when it fails it WILL leave you/your wife stranded), and you should change the trans. fluid, filter, and electrical connector assembly if there are no records of it being done when you get it home, too. Diff fluid wouldn't be a bad idea either, depending on when the warranty work on that was done; nobody ever remembers to do it.
