2011 Mercedes-Benz ML350 W164 - Silver - 181,272km - 3.5L V6 Petrol, Automatic AWD
Overview
The Mercedes-Benz ML-Class W164 generation (2005–2011) represents the pinnacle of mid-2000s luxury SUV engineering, and this 2011 ML350 exemplifies the final evolution of that platform. The ML350 badge denotes the 3.5-litre naturally aspirated V6 petrol engine paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, a combination that delivers refined performance with genuine everyday usability. At 181,272 kilometres, this example sits in the mid-range of typical ownership, suggesting a vehicle that has been actively used but maintained within normal service intervals. The W164 ML350 remains a compelling proposition for buyers seeking a premium SUV with proven reliability, comprehensive feature content, and the prestige of the three-pointed star.
This particular example presents in silver metallic, a colour that suits the ML's purposeful stance. The paint holds good gloss across all visible panels, with minor stone chipping evident on the bonnet leading edge—consistent with highway use and typical of vehicles in this mileage bracket. Panel gaps are even and body lines are straight, with no evidence of accident repair or panel misalignment. The wheels are fitted with matching alloy items in good condition, and the overall exterior finish conveys a well-maintained, honest example rather than a cosmetically refreshed one. Light surface oxidation is visible on lower door trim, a minor cosmetic observation on a vehicle of this age. The rear bumper corner shows minor scuff marks, likely from low-speed parking contact. These are material but not structural observations.
The W164 ML350 occupies a strong position in the premium SUV market. Contemporary rivals included the BMW X5 and Audi Q7, both commanding similar pricing at this mileage and age. The Mercedes-Benz brand premium, combined with the V6 petrol engine's smooth delivery and the comprehensive equipment list typical of the ML350 trim, positions this vehicle competitively. At current market rates, comparable 2011 ML350 examples with similar mileage are trading in the $18,000–$24,000 range depending on condition and service history. This example's honest presentation and mid-range mileage suggest realistic positioning within that band.
