Looking at 07-08 ML63s

I have been looking at these, after a few years with an ML55. Around the 80k mile mark. Other than the A and B services are there any big ones at certain mileage points I should be aware of?

Not really, the usual wear & tear items. Will be good to check if the one you settle for has had a recent brake disc and pad change.

Tyres : 295/40 R 20.


Suspension : Airmatic - Front shock absorbers integrated with the airbag, rear ones are not. Check for leaks and test the system raises and lowers the vehicle with the button next to the gearbox sports setting button located in the centre console.

Good time to check suspension bushes and droplinks too.

Being normally aspirated, the engine is good at managing heat.

Spark plugs replaced every 4 years.

Thrilling at full chat !

you may notice that used ones for sale may well say that this issue has been dealt with as a positive selling point.
