Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers comfortable with
Due to the vehicle having significantly exceeded the average annual mileage for this model, the primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure that oil changes and filter replacements have been performed at regular intervals to support the 2987cc engine's longevity.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the high total mileage. While the MOT record is clean, high-mileage premium SUVs often require more frequent replacement of wear-and-tear components that may not be flagged as MOT failures until they reach a critical limit.
Running costs for this ML will be relatively high due to the 3.0L diesel engine displacement, which places it in a higher vehicle excise duty (tax) bracket. Insurance groups for the ML range are typically high, reflecting its premium positioning and repair costs.
Fuel economy will be typical for a large 2011-era diesel SUV, and maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz components can be substantial. Expect higher annual spending on tyres and brakes compared to smaller vehicles.
While this specific vehicle has no recorded MOT defects since 2023, you should specifically inspect the drive shaft joints, as these are among the top failure reasons for the ML model. Check the condition and tread depth of the tyres and ensure the headlamps are functioning correctly and free from oxidation, as these are also common model weak points.
Given the 156,758 miles on the odometer, a physical inspection of the suspension bushings and steering components is recommended to identify any wear that has not yet resulted in an MOT failure.
This silver 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML diesel has recorded 156,758 miles. Its MOT history from 2023 to 2026 is consistent, with four consecutive passes and no defects recorded in any of those tests. This is a positive result compared to the model's aggregate MOT pass rate of 79.8%.
The Mercedes-Benz ML has an average MOT pass rate of 79.8% across a sample of 41,187 vehicles.
