2010 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · ML60 OJP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its clean testing record over the last four years. The most recent MOT test conducted in June 2022 at 139,423 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that since the mechanical failure in mid-2019, the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of operational readiness without recurring failures or faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. The data shows steady accumulation, moving from 123,099 miles in July 2020 to 139,423 miles in June 2022. However, there is a significant gap in the records as the last recorded test took place four years ago. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle is overdue for an MOT, necessitating an immediate inspection to ensure no hidden degradation has occurred during the undocumented period. The history shows a single failure in July 2019 at 114,921 miles due to a fractured offside rear coil spring. While this was rectified immediately, a buyer should perform a thorough inspection of the entire suspension geometry, specifically checking shock absorbers and rubber bushings which are prone to wear on this model. Given the age of the Mercedes ML, close attention must also be paid to structural corrosion on the chassis and subframes, as these are common points of failure that do not always appear until they become critical.
