2014 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · MW64 YYO

A history of consistent roadworthiness characterizes this vehicle, with the most recent test on 29 January 2026 resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. The MOT record shows a stable trend of passing tests over the last seven years, though there have been intermittent advisories specifically concerning tyre condition. While the 2025 inspection flagged an advisory for a slightly damaged offside front tyre, the latest 2026 result indicates that these issues have been addressed, leaving a relatively clean recent testing profile. The vehicle has covered 82,680 miles over its twelve-year lifespan, which equates to an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,890 miles. This usage pattern is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a moderate level of operation rather than heavy motorway use or excessive short-distance commuting. Mechanically, this mileage level means that while major drivetrain components may not have reached extreme wear thresholds, consumables such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and various rubber seals will have undergone standard aging and should be closely monitored for degradation. Prospective buyers should pay particular attention to the tyre history noted in the 2019, 2021, and 2025 records. The recurrence of advisories for tyres being worn close to the legal limit, damaged, or perishing suggests that tyre replacement cycles have been a recurring maintenance requirement. During a test drive, it is essential to inspect the tread depth and sidewall integrity of all four tyres to ensure no cracking or uneven wear remains. Furthermore, given the previous advisories regarding edge wear, you should check for any signs of misalignment or steering pull, which could indicate issues with the wheel alignment or suspension geometry. Beyond the tyres, the lack of recorded defects regarding structural integrity or fluid leaks is a notable aspect of the recent history. However, because the vehicle has been used at a steady, moderate rate, a thorough inspection of the suspension system is advised. Listen for any knocking or clunking noises when traversing uneven surfaces or speed bumps, which may indicate wear in the control arms or shock absorbers. Additionally, check for any visible oil misting around the engine bay or undercarriage to ensure that the moderate mileage has not resulted in premature seal failure.
