Could be a bung oxygen sensor, but not normally after only 68,000 km.

And remember there are four oxygen sensors on a 380, two before the third "white brick" cat and two after.

From my experience and reading the two before the cat can make a difference to fuel economy but not so much the two after.

Seeing as it's now six years old I'd check the spark plugs first.

Easy to check the front bank ones, not so easy the rear bank.
