I've got an '87 Mercedes-Benz with 267K miles on the odometer... and the odometer stopped working two months ago. Anyways, the motor has always ticked. Otherwise it runs like a top! I took it to an M-B dealership last week and asked them to look it over (especially the motor and tranny). They said it was in excellent condition and that as long as the motor wasn't knocking it was probably okay. I've had cars tick and clack (even knock), but I've never had a motor seize or thrown anything. Don't lose sleep over it unless it gets worse, that's what I'd say.
