2013 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · JL63 RRY

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects reported in the last three MOT tests (2025-09-08, 2024-09-16, 2023-09-25). The 2022-09-26 test recorded a failure, though no specific defects were noted, which may indicate a procedural issue or minor non-compliance. Subsequent tests show consistent compliance, suggesting the owner addressed any underlying issues. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are evident in the documented history. The mileage of 33,161 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 2,551 annual miles, reflecting low usage. This pattern aligns with gradual, consistent mileage growth from 28,828 in 2022 to 33,161 in 2025, with no abrupt spikes. However, prolonged low mileage may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and rubber seals due to inactivity. The absence of advisories for corrosion or fluid leaks is positive, but a physical inspection is recommended to confirm the vehicle’s condition. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension system for dry or cracked bushes, as low mileage can mask wear. The exhaust system warrants scrutiny for rust, particularly if the vehicle was stored for extended periods. While no brake-related defects were recorded, the 2022 failure—though unexplained—merits investigation. Confirming the battery’s age and inspecting brake discs for uneven wear would also be prudent, given the vehicle’s age and usage pattern.
