2013 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · 48 EBY

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 21 March 2025 at 64,333 miles showed no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable trend of compliance over the last several years. This suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids the common mechanical or structural failures typically seen in SUVs of this age. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a visible gap in usage between December 2020 and January 2022, where the vehicle covered only 21 miles in thirteen months. Since the January 2022 test, usage has increased steadily, covering nearly 20,000 miles between the 44,596 and 64,333 mile marks. This low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to rubber perish or fluid acidity regardless of the mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. Check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of cracking or leaks, as these can become brittle over time. Inspect the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, particularly if the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. Given the clean history, the structural integrity of the chassis appears sound, but a visual check for underbody rust remains standard practice for a vehicle of this era.
