2000 Mercedes-Benz ML: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 56% pass first time (all 2000 cars: 61%) Stands out: engine oil leaks 2×, ball joint 2.9×, headlights 2.3× 797 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 63% pass first time (all 2000 cars: 61%) Stands out: anti-roll bar bushes and joints 6.2×, headlights 2.4×, brake pads 2.8× 450 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
