2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.1L Diesel · 18 COR

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 October 2025 at 75,180 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the chain, indicating the previous owner kept the car to a standard that satisfied DVSA inspection without recurring intervention. Mileage sat at 58,543 in the 5 October 2022 test and rose to 67,163 by 27 October 2023, then 71,937 to 71,938 across two tests on 7 October 2024, reaching 75,180 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 6,800 miles per year, typical for an 11-year-old vehicle. The record shows no long dormant gaps or sudden accumulation spikes; the only anomaly is the failed 7 October 2024 entry at 71,937 miles with no defects logged, immediately followed the same day by a pass at 71,938, which points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical defect. Given the clean sheet across five years, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue not yet visible to MOT testers. At 75,180 miles the SLK is past the point where consumables such as tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads may need replacement even without advisories. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions have shown no corrosion or failure signals in the data. The absence of flagged faults suggests conscientious upkeep, but standing periods implied by lower annual use can mask perished rubber components, so a physical check of underbody condition remains prudent before purchase.
