2012 MERCEDES-BENZ SLS6.2L PETROL

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 8 July 2026 at 14,462 miles which recorded no defects. Every MOT entry from 16 December 2019 through to the current certificate shows a clean pass with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has been kept to a consistently high standard with no worsening or recurring mechanical faults across the seven-year record. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. The odometer moved from 12,959 miles in December 2019 to just 14,462 miles by July 2026, an average of roughly 215 miles per year over that span. A notable gap exists between the April 2021 test at 13,077 miles and the August 2022 test at 13,201 miles, where the annual cycle slipped by several months, but total accumulation remained minimal. Such low totals suggest long periods of storage rather than daily driving. Given the clean history, a buyer should still verify in person the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as these components can degrade through inactivity and moisture ingress even without MOT flags. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories is reassuring, yet standing vehicles often develop seized linkages or flat-spotted tyres that a static test may not expose. A pre-purchase inspection should include a cold-start assessment of the drivetrain, checks for perished rubber on the exhaust mounts, and measurement of brake disc run-out after the long dormancy periods implied by the mileage. The record shows no consumable neglect, but low-mileage classics demand scrutiny of items the MOT simply does not fail on.
