2014 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · R1 CDJ

The current roadworthiness status of this Mercedes-Benz ML is excellent, demonstrating a stable and positive maintenance trend. The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 18 August 2025 at 95,992 miles without a single recorded defect or advisory. This clean bill of health follows a similar pass in August 2024, indicating that the current owner is maintaining the vehicle to a high standard. The recorded mileage of 95,992 miles over a twelve-year lifespan averages approximately 8,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this class. The consistency of the annual testing schedule suggests the car has remained in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which is beneficial for avoiding issues like seized calipers or degraded rubber components. The steady accumulation of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles between each annual test confirms a predictable service cycle. While the recent history is clean, the 2023 test at 81,505 miles identified uneven wear on both rear tyres. This specific advisory suggests a potential requirement for a four-wheel alignment check to ensure the suspension geometry remains within factory specifications. Given the vehicle's weight and the complexity of its air suspension system, a prospective buyer should verify the condition of the suspension bushes and check for any signs of uneven tyre scrub during a physical inspection. Provided the tyres have been replaced and the alignment addressed, the mechanical record suggests a well-cared-for example that has transitioned from minor consumable neglect to proactive maintenance.
