2013 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · W99 JCR

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a highly stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 August 2025 at 109,955 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a period of consecutive clean passes since 2022, indicating that the previous owners have proactively maintained the vehicle and prevented minor issues from escalating into MOT test failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent and aligns with typical usage for a luxury SUV, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024, the vehicle covered 10,961 miles, while the interval between 2024 and 2025 saw a further 13,838 miles. This regular usage suggests consistent operation rather than long periods of stagnation, which is often beneficial for maintaining seals, bushings, and mechanical components in a Mercedes-Benz. The only blemish in the history is a failure on 15 August 2022 at 68,969 miles, which was rectified before a successful re-test fifteen days later. Because the subsequent tests have shown no recurring faults, the specific cause of that failure was likely a consumable item or a minor component replacement. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushings and chassis for corrosion, as these are common points of wear for this model regardless of history. Given the age and mileage, checking the condition of the brake discs for uneven wear and ensuring there are no fluid leaks remains a prudent due diligence exercise.
