2012 Mercedes-Benz ML 2.1L Diesel · RO62 SLZ

The vehicle presents a high roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 26 November 2025 at 120,781 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak suggests that the previous owners have proactively addressed mechanical and safety-related issues before they could trigger a failure during the official testing process. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. Between November 2021 at 83,489 miles and November 2024 at 115,018 miles, the vehicle covered 31,529 miles, maintaining a steady usage pattern of roughly 7,800 miles annually. This regularity reduces the risk often associated with long periods of standing, which can lead to seal degradation and brake seizing, while avoiding the excessive wear seen on high-mileage luxury vehicles. While the MOT record is devoid of advisories, a physical inspection should focus on the common failure points for the Mercedes-Benz ML platform that are not captured in a stationary test. A buyer must scrutinise the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often perish at this mileage despite a clean MOT. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for structural corrosion on the chassis and exhaust mounting points is essential to ensure the integrity remains as sound as the digital record suggests.
