2015 Mercedes-Benz ML 2.1L Diesel · AA15 ADY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test on April 10, 2026. While the record shows a technical failure on that same date at 156,167 miles, the immediate pass without recorded defects suggests a minor issue was rectified instantly on-site. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with the last four annual tests passing without any advisories or failures, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained up to basic legal standards. The mileage profile is high for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,200 miles per year. Between March 2023 and April 2026, the car covered 13,818 miles, maintaining a consistent usage pattern of roughly 4,600 miles annually. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for motorway commuting rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine health but places significant strain on heavy-duty components like the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and air de-stabilization systems. Given the high mileage and age of this Mercedes ML, a buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the suspension geometry and structural integrity. Check for wear on coil springs, ball arms, and shock absorbers, as these components frequently degrade after 150,000 miles. The lack of recorded advisories for corrosion or brake wear is notable, but the buyer should still manually inspect the chassis for rust and test the brake calipers for signs of binding or uneven wear to ensure the high mileage has not masked underlying mechanical fatigue.
