Our Verdict
A strong contender for those seeking a p
When inspecting this ML, focus on the service history to ensure the 2987cc diesel engine has had regular oil changes, as this is critical for long-term reliability. Check for any evidence of previous suspension work following the 2023 coil spring failure to ensure the repair was carried out to a professional standard.
Negotiate based on the upcoming service intervals and the current state of the tyres. Given that tyres are a common failure point for this model according to aggregate data, checking the remaining tread and brand quality will be key to avoiding immediate post-purchase costs.
The 3.0L diesel engine provides significant torque and towing capacity but results in higher running costs. Expect high annual road tax due to the vehicle's age and emissions profile, alongside insurance premiums that reflect the ML's size and engine capacity.
Maintenance for Mercedes-Benz vehicles of this era can be expensive, particularly if the vehicle is equipped with air suspension. Estimated annual costs will be heavily influenced by fuel consumption and the necessity of using premium parts to maintain the vehicle's integrity.
Pay close attention to the suspension, specifically the rear coil springs, as a fracture was recorded at 106,906 miles. While the most recent MOTs show no defects, it is advisable to inspect the drive shaft joints and headlamps, as these are identified as top failure reasons across the wider ML population.
Additionally, inspect the black paintwork for any signs of clear-coat failure or fading, which can be common on older, dark-coloured vehicles. Check the interior wear, particularly on the driver's seat bolster, to see if it aligns with the recorded mileage of 124,210.
This black 2010 Mercedes-Benz ML has covered 124,210 miles since its first registration in December 2010. The MOT history is notably clean, with only one recorded failure in 2023 for a fractured nearside rear coil spring. Recent tests in 2024 and 2025 were passed with no defects recorded, suggesting a stable condition for a vehicle of this age.
The ML has a general MOT pass rate of 79.8%, with common failure points typically involving tyres, headlamps, and drive shaft joints.
