2015 Mercedes-Benz ML 2.1L Diesel · LP15 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes over the last four years. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 January 2026 at 164,253 miles returned no defects or advisories, maintaining a consistent record of mechanical compliance. This clean history suggests that the current owner likely follows a proactive approach to maintenance, addressing potential mechanical issues before they result in a test failure. The mileage accumulation is consistent and high, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 111,789 miles and January 2026 at 164,253 miles, the vehicle has covered over 52,000 miles. This steady usage indicates regular long-distance driving, which often prevents the dry-rot degradation of rubber components seen in vehicles that sit for long periods. The lack of significant gaps between test intervals confirms the vehicle has remained in active use, which is a positive indicator for the health of the drivetrain components. Despite the clean MOT record, the high mileage necessitates a rigorous physical inspection of wear items common to the Mercedes ML range. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the air suspension bellows and coil springs, as these frequently fail at this mileage bracket. The inspector should also check for signs of excessive play in the control arm bushings, which endure significant stress on a vehicle of this weight. While the MOT shows no recorded brake faults, checking for sticking calipers or uneven wear on the discs remains vital to ensure the braking system is not nearing the end of its service life.
