2010 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.5L Diesel · 1230 JW

The vehicle presents a positive roadworthiness profile, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 August 2025 at 111,488 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have met the minimum safety standards without immediate failures. The mileage progression is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 22,057 miles, showing a steady usage pattern rather than long periods of stagnation or heavy accumulation. While there was a recorded failure on 17 August 2023 at 96,184 miles, the vehicle was re-tested and passed on the same day at 96,226 miles, suggesting a minor, rectifiable issue that was addressed immediately by the previous owner. Given the clean nature of the recent MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common failure points inherent to this specific Mercedes-Benz model. Although the records show no current faults, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at rubber components such as suspension bushes and bushings, which are prone to cracking over time. Check for signs of structural corrosion on the chassis and verify the condition of the braking system, as these areas are not always flagged in an MOT Test until they reach a critical state of failure.
