2007 MERCEDES-BENZ ML3.0L Diesel

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in June 2025 with 107,703 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears currently stable, following a period of recurring minor mechanical and consumable issues. While the recent history shows a pattern of failures related to lighting and rubber components, the lack of advisories on the latest test suggests that the current owner is addressing identified faults before they escalate into safety-critical failures. The mileage profile is notably low for a nineteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. There is a significant gap in recorded data between November 2021 at 82,432 miles and June 2025 at 107,703 miles, where the vehicle covered over 25,000 miles in three years. This low annual usage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, which is evidenced by the repeated reports of perishing tyres and deteriorated brake hoses between 2018 and 2022. A buyer must specifically inspect the engine bay for oil leaks, as this has been a persistent issue dating back to at least 2017 and appearing through 2023. Although the tester noted these leaks were not excessive, the longevity suggests aging seals or gaskets that may eventually require replacement. Given the previous history of damaged CV joint gaiters and perished brake hoses, a thorough check of the front suspension rubber and brake lines is essential to ensure no new cracking has occurred due to age and low mileage.
