Mercedes C-Class - are there any known issues?

As a former company car driver, I have for the last six years driven a Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Having left my job, I am now in the market for a used model, but am worried about known mechanical issues. Can you offer any advice?

A big improvement on the previous C-Class. Feels well built and robust. Very comfortable and refined. High quality ride. Good CDI diesels.
