check the brake fluid it might be a little low, as the fluid warms it expands. with disc brakes wear the caliper piston stays a little further and the fluid needs to fill that space, it can be low without a leak.

I checked full
and even had a break fluid service. It was the first thing I did.

I would have it checked for codes in the [abs](/topics-abs-mercedes/) then.

No fault code in ABS

Then I would check the fluid sensor for the master cylinder.

It could be a pressure sensor but that should set a code, check the parking brake switch. the wiring diagram shows it turns on the brake light.
