Our Verdict

Proceed with extreme caution unless a comprehensive mechanical inspection is performed. While the vehicle has a clean appearance, the history reveals significant past corrosion issues that suggest potential ongoing maintenance requirements.

When inspecting this first-generation ML, your absolute priority must be the chassis and braking system. The 2006 MOT failure record for excessively corroded brake pipes across multiple wheels indicates that this vehicle is prone to structural rust. Ensure that any previous brake line repairs have been done with modern material and check for fresh corrosion on the subframes and suspension mounting points.

Check the service history meticulously for timing chain maintenance, as the early V6 diesel engines in this model are known for stretch issues if oil intervals were missed. Given the mileage exceeds 140,000 miles, also inspect for signs of oil leaks and the condition of the air suspension components, which are common failure points on these older Mercedes SUVs.
