I agree with BOOBLES....
If it ant busted, dont fix it....
These machanes have a proven Mercedes pedigree.... and will roll for 200,000 miles......
Sounds like a $1,600 list of preventions.... so maybe put 1,000 in a kitty and spend 600 on some luxuries ie HID lamp sets, performance RED STUFF brake pads, upgrade the dash or gear **** if that takes your fancy....
Having a contingency fund is a good thing......
The struts could run for 30,000 more miles.... the belt and fuel filter is a good idea any way, as is the top quality recomended oils and lubricants....
Change your engine air filters for K & N parts, change the pollen filter and get her a nice treat of some good polishing wax.....

As for preventative..... maybe get some steering joints and track rod ends if you must, and it will guarantee your tracking and keeps the tyres intact....
Some good Bosche wipers is a must too....

Other than that, just drive her, love her and like a good woman.... she will take good care of you too....

Enjoy.
