2011 Mercedes-Benz ML 3.0L Diesel · YP60 XAX

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 at 93,516 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of recurring brake line issues. While previous tests flagged specific corrosion problems, the lack of advisories or failures in the latest inspection suggests that the current owner has addressed the underlying mechanical vulnerabilities identified in the years prior. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between February 2022 and December 2022, where the car covered only 640 miles, but since late 2022, usage has remained steady, with roughly 5,000 miles added between each annual test. This relatively low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but can increase the risk of rubber component degradation and surface corrosion due to periods of inactivity. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the braking system due to historical corrosion reports. The tester flagged both front inner brake pipe corrosion in February 2022 at 87,869 miles, followed by a corroded front brake pipe in September 2024 at 92,309 miles. Although the 2025 test was clear, the recurring nature of these faults indicates that the brake lines are susceptible to environmental damage or poor protection. Physically inspecting the lines for any flaking rust or residual grease buildup is essential to ensure the previous repairs were comprehensive rather than merely cosmetic.
