2001 ML55 reliable?

im looking at a 2001 ml55 with 80k miles, one owner with full service records.


Would I be looking at problems in the near future?

thanks

Mine is at 145k miles and has been fairly trouble free... Other then normal wear items, not really too much trouble...

Mine will be going up for sale soon too, I still want to do another Tune up, and have osme other parts to install as well

reliable?

I'm not quite as scorn as my handle may imply..lol HOwwwever, I cannot stand the sub-par standard of assembly and cheapo plastic pieces used on the interior of this Alabamer slammer. Mine was a rattletrap when I first got it a year ago (45k on it)and after 2 eight hr days of interior sleuthing managed to quell most of the major offenders inside. I now have 75k on it and have only replaced a wheel bearing ,valve cover gasket and front and rear brake pads. I absolutly love the power this truck has and that is what gets me thru the rattles n such. Hope this helps?

I've had my 01 for 6 years it now has 101,100 miles on it and have spent over 12k in repairs...and now it has electrial issues, I believe that 02 or 03 ML55's were the most reliable....
