2012 Mercedes-Benz ML 2.1L Diesel · HP58 ENZ

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML is currently roadworthy, as evidenced by the recent 2026-02-07 MOT test at 66,384 miles, which resulted in a pass with a minor advisory for the nearside rear tyre being worn close to the legal limit and on the edge. This recent pass indicates that, at present, the vehicle meets the minimum legal standards for roadworthiness. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no major defects recorded across the past five years of MOT tests. The recorded mileage of 66,384 miles over 14 years translates to approximately 4,742 miles per year, which is relatively low for a vehicle of this age. A review of the mileage progression reveals steady, modest increases: from 53,964 miles in February 2022 to 56,457 miles in January 2023, 58,968 miles in February 2024, 63,013 miles in January 2025, and finally to 66,384 miles in February 2026. This pattern suggests that the vehicle has been used consistently but not excessively. Given the vehicle's low mileage and stable maintenance history, a buyer should still inspect certain components in person to ensure they are in good condition. The recent advisory for the nearside rear tyre indicates that tyre wear should be checked, particularly on the edges, which can be a sign of misaligned wheels or worn suspension components. Additionally, it would be prudent to inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for any signs of wear or corrosion, although the MOT history does not indicate any issues with these components. A thorough check of the vehicle's underside for any signs of structural rust or damage is also recommended. The absence of any major defects or recurring issues in the MOT history suggests that the vehicle has been well-maintained, but a personal inspection can provide a more comprehensive understanding of its current condition.
