2014 Mercedes-Benz ML250 SE Bluetec Auto 2.1L Diesel · JD52 ASH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT test conducted on 18 September 2025 at 103,514 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets minimum legal standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the mechanical and safety systems have remained maintained over the last several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old luxury SUV, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of 18,815 miles between March 2024 and September 2025, which represents a higher rate of usage compared to the previous interval of 7,383 miles between 2022 and 2024. This recent increase suggests the vehicle is currently in active use, which can accelerate the wear on heavy-duty components like the suspension bushings and braking system. While the recent records are clear of advisories, the failure on 12 May 2022 at 77,091 miles indicates a specific issue that required immediate attention shortly before a successful pass. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the lower suspension arms and shock absorbers for signs of weeping or tearing, as these are common failure points on this model. Given the age, checking the state of the brake calipers for binding and the integrity of the exhaust system is essential to ensure the recent increase in mileage has not led to accelerated structural degradation or fluid leaks.
