Vegan, or vegetarian?  The 'vegan' Mercedes might have to be pre-W115.  My W115
200D had electronics in it: the intermittent wiper and the turn signal flasher! 
 And: radio!

The W123 diesel doesn't have any _critical_ electronics.  Of course, neither 
does a W126 diesel!

So long as they were using computers to _replace_ non-computer electronics they 
seemed
to do a pretty good job.  As soon as it became obvious that it _was_ a 
computer, usually
via menus and lots of 'convenience' features, that's when the troubles seemed 
to creep in.

My personal opinion is that it is _complexity_ that is the true killer.  And 
nothing made in
the last 20 years is at all non-complex.
