2010 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · MX60 SYG

The vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness status following a pass on 25 March 2026 with no recorded defects. However, the recent history shows an unstable pattern of compliance, evidenced by two failures occurring just weeks before successful tests. The vehicle failed on 5 March 2026 and 28 February 2025, requiring immediate repairs to meet minimum road safety standards. While the most recent result is clean, the recurring failures suggest a cycle where issues are addressed only upon inspection failure rather than through preventative maintenance. At 106,542 miles, the 2010 Mercedes-Benz averages approximately 6,659 miles per year, which aligns with typical annual usage for a luxury SUV of this age. The records show a consistent annual testing interval with tests performed in February 2024, February 2025, and March 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle is not sitting for long periods, though the age of the car means degradation of rubber components and structural integrity remains a concern despite the relatively low mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system, as the repeated failures indicate potential volatility in these areas. Given the vehicle's age and model, focus should be placed on corrosion on the chassis and subframes, which are common failure points for this generation. The lack of specific defect descriptions in the provided record makes it impossible to verify if the previous failures were related to minor consumables like bulbs or more significant mechanical issues like binding calipers. Buying score: 58 Risk level: Medium.
