2013 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · AV13 AAK

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-04-09 inspection at 90,983 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures suggests the vehicle has been well-kept, with no evidence of recurring faults in critical systems such as brakes, suspension, or emissions. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,999 miles annually. The tests are spaced consistently, with intervals of 11–12 months between each inspection, reflecting regular servicing. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, which reduces the likelihood of undetected wear in components like tyres, brakes, or the drivetrain. The clean MOT history implies minimal exposure to extreme conditions or neglect, though the vehicle’s age necessitates closer scrutiny of aging systems. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, common wear points in this model, and check for corrosion in underbody panels or exhaust components. While no brake-related issues were recorded, a detailed brake system check—focusing on disc thickness and caliper function—is advisable. The absence of structural defects in the MOT records is reassuring, but a thorough visual assessment of the chassis and body seams for rust or damage remains prudent, given the vehicle’s age and potential exposure to road salt.
