2010 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · OV60 OFB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 120,898 miles showed no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This lack of failures suggests that the previous owners have been proactive with preventative maintenance, preventing minor mechanical issues from escalating into MOT test failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between the 2021 test at 78,066 miles and the 2025 test at 120,898 miles, the car covered 42,832 miles, showing a steady usage rate of roughly 10,700 miles annually in recent years. This regularity suggests the vehicle has not been left sitting for long periods, which often reduces the likelihood of perished rubber components, seized sensors, or internal brake calipers. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of common failure points for the Mercedes-Benz ML platform. The inspector should specifically scrutinise the air suspension components and bushings for signs of leaks, cracking, or tearing, as these often degrade without triggering an MOT advisory until they fail. Given the vehicle's age, checking the chassis for corrosion on the subframes and exhaust mounting points is essential to ensure structural integrity remains uncompromised by surface rust.
