2007 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · CU57 AHX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at the most recent inspection on 07 May 2025 at 177,548 miles. This follows a successful test in May 2024 at 149,014 miles, indicating that the vehicle has moved past previous issues. The single recorded failure in February 2023 at 139,588 miles appears to have been a minor setback, as the vehicle passed the subsequent test just five days later without any new advisories or defects noted. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 9,345 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 132,875 miles in February 2022 to the current 177,548 miles. There are no signs of excessive usage or long periods of stationary storage, which suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly enough to prevent component seizure or fuel degradation. While the MOT history shows no ongoing mechanical or structural trends, the high mileage of 177,548 miles necessitates a thorough physical inspection of wear-related components. A buyer should focus on the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these often require replacement on heavy SUVs at this mileage. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, despite the clean recent certificates. Given the age and mileage, a close examination of the chassis for corrosion is essential. Even with a passing MOT, the structural integrity of the underbody should be verified to ensure no significant oxidation is present on the subframes or exhaust system. The service history should be cross-referenced with these records to confirm that routine maintenance on the drivetrain and cooling system has kept pace with the recorded mileage.
