2014 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · BO55 DRH

The 2025-11-18 MOT at 138,592 miles passed with no defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance trend has been stable over the past two years. Earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 also showed clean results, with no recorded defects despite occasional FAIL entries that did not reference any mechanical faults. At 12 years old, the 138,592 recorded miles equate to roughly 11,549 miles per year, which is typical for its age. However, the interval from the 2023-11-16 test at 124,049 miles to the 2024-11-25 test at 130,719 miles added 6,670 miles in a single year, and the subsequent rise to 138,592 miles by 2025-11-18 represents an additional 7,873 miles, indicating a noticeable acceleration in usage compared with the relatively flat mileage growth between 2022 and 2023. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine the rear brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and check the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust, especially given the vehicle’s age and the increased mileage in recent years. While the MOT history shows no recurring mechanical failures, the pattern of higher annual mileage suggests the owner may have used the car more intensively or allowed it to stand for longer periods, so a thorough physical assessment of wear items and any hidden corrosion is essential before purchase.
