2015 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · T12 RAN

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-11-26 at 94,848 miles recording a pass and no defects. Prior tests from 2024-11-14 and 2023-11-13 also passed without issues, though a failed test on the same date in 2024 recorded no defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor unresolved concern. The absence of recurring mechanical failures or structural issues in the record indicates consistent maintenance, though the lack of detailed defect notes limits insight into specific component health. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging 8,623 miles annually. The 2023-11-13 test at 86,883 miles shows a 5,000-mile increase by 2024-11-14, followed by a 3,075-mile rise to 91,773 miles by the next year. These increments suggest regular but not excessive use, with no evidence of abrupt mileage spikes that might indicate neglect or heavy wear. The 2025-11-26 test at 94,848 miles confirms continued adherence to standard maintenance intervals. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these components often degrade with age and mileage. The brake system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, common in vehicles with consistent stop-start driving. Additionally, the exhaust system and underbody should be checked for corrosion, as these areas are prone to rust in older models. While the MOT record shows no critical failures, the absence of detailed defect descriptions means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity.
