Try to understand what I've written before making-up scenarios that weren't even brought up. I comprehended what you think is good advice - but it's NOT. I believe it was horrible advice.
MB dealers are by in large so incompetent, especially with vintage MBs, the best advice is to stay AWAY from them.
My advice stands.
Take the car to a highly-competent independent shop that SPECIALIZES in MERCEDES-BENZ AND IS KNOWN TO THE MB COMMUNITY AS SUCH. We have many highly competent indie shops in the Dallas-Fort Worth area for instance. -Just as most any metro area in America does as well.
OP: My advise is to; STAY AWAY FROM DEALERS, especially with ANY vintage MB. Find the independent shops that specialize in MBs that are recommended by the MB community of owners in your area to do your PPI inspection.

A lot of Independents are closing here in the North. The dealers will be putting them out of business eventually as technology gets more and more advanced.
