2014 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · AE03 MCE

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz ML presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 16 June 2025 at 75,121 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests in June 2024 at 67,866 miles, December 2022 at 55,407 miles, and November 2021 at 46,841 miles all passed with no advisories or failures. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across the four-year recorded span. Annual mileage averages around 6,260 miles, consistent with typical use for a twelve-year-old vehicle. The record shows a clean sequence with no rapid accumulation or suspicious jumps. A gap exists between the November 2021 test at 46,841 miles and the December 2022 test at 55,407 miles, where the vehicle covered 8,566 miles over thirteen months rather than a strict twelve-month cycle, but this remains within normal bounds and the test still passed without defect. No recurring faults, suspension wear, brake defects, corrosion, or exhaust issues appear in the official history. The absence of advisories on coil springs, bushes, discs, or structural integrity suggests previous owners kept the ML to a sound standard. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of underbody corrosion, suspension bushes, and brake caliper operation, as MOT passes do not measure component life remaining. Given the sparse but clean record, the buyer should verify service history and confirm timing chain, transmission, and four-wheel-drive component condition in person. The MOT data alone shows no red flags but cannot certify ongoing reliability beyond the test dates.
