2014 Mercedes-Benz ML350 AMG Sport Bluetec Auto 3.0L Diesel · AG62 ARG

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-06-10 at 69,281 miles recording a pass and no defects. However, a failure on 2025-04-18 at 69,200 miles—just 81 miles prior—raises questions about the consistency of maintenance. No defects were recorded in either test, suggesting potential technical issues or minor oversights during the failed inspection. The absence of structural or mechanical failures in prior tests (2022–2024) indicates no significant deterioration, but the recent failure warrants scrutiny to confirm whether underlying issues were resolved. The mileage of 69,281 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 5,773 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity. This pattern could lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components, suspension bushes, or corrosion in stagnant areas. The MOT records show consistent mileage increments, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps, implying regular but light usage. However, the low annual average increases the risk of hidden wear in components not typically stressed by high-mileage driving, such as steering linkages or exhaust system integrity. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushings, for signs of stiffness or uneven wear due to low-mileage inactivity. The failed 2025 MOT suggests potential issues with brake systems or emissions, though no defects were logged. Visual checks for corrosion, especially around chassis rails and underbody panels, are critical. Additionally, verifying the history of the failed test—whether it was a technical error or an unrecorded advisory—could reveal overlooked maintenance needs. Despite the clean MOT history, the low mileage and recent failure necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm mechanical soundness.
