Default 118,000 miles on original plugs!!!

Record breaking 118,000 miles on original plugs?!? Just picked up a 500hp Mercedes AMG for a daily driver... Mercedes plugs last 100k miles figured I would check these being car has 118k.. weird thing is previous owner has all records of everything from Mercedes dealer why when it hit 100k did they not change the plugs?!?!

Post video of exhaust sound?

AMG really does know how to make a proper-sounding vehicle.
