2010 MERCEDES-BENZ ML3.0L Diesel

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 March 2026 at 75,119 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. This follows four consecutive clean passes from March 2022 through March 2025, showing no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical issues across the five-year record. Recorded mileage sits at 75,119 against an estimated 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,695 miles per year. The DVSA data shows steady annual use: 59,483 miles in March 2022, rising to 63,711 by March 2023, 67,887 by March 2024, 71,855 by March 2025, and 75,119 by March 2026. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The low yearly distance suggests light use, though standing periods common to low-mileage vehicles can age rubber components and brake hardware without showing in the test record. The clean MOT history flags no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, or structural corrosion across the period. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection beneath the car. At this age, subframe rust and floor pan integrity need physical checking despite the absence of tester advisories. Verify the service history matches the low mileage claim. Check brake calipers for seizure after standing, and inspect tyres and wiper blades for perishing from age rather than wear. The record implies a careful prior owner, but MOT passes alone do not confirm drivetrain or underbody condition.
