2014 Mercedes-Benz ML 2.1L Diesel · RF14 ADX

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 12 February 2026 at 184,052 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This clean result follows a consistent pattern of passes, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal requirements despite its high usage. The mileage is significant for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging over 15,000 miles per year. There was a particularly rapid increase in usage between 11 December 2023 and 25 February 2025, where the odometer rose from 133,133 to 161,418 miles. A further 22,634 miles were covered in the year leading up to the February 2026 test. This high-mileage profile indicates heavy duty use, likely consisting of long-distance motorway journeys. The MOT record is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage, showing no recorded defects or advisories across several years. While the lack of flagged issues is positive, the absence of any mentioned wear on consumables like brake discs, tyres, or suspension bushes is atypical for a car with 184,052 miles. This suggests either a very rigorous private maintenance regime or a tester who has been lenient. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-wear components that the MOT record does not detail. Check for play in the steering rack and the condition of the air suspension bellows, as these are common failure points on the ML class at this mileage. Inspect the underside for structural corrosion and check the service history for evidence of gearbox and differential oil changes to ensure the drivetrain has been supported against this level of wear.
