MERCEDES SLK2001 · 2.0L PETROL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 26 June 2025, indicating it is currently roadworthy. However, the maintenance trend shows some concerns, particularly with the rear sub-frame corrosion and brake hoses, which have been flagged in multiple tests. The exhaust system also exhibits ongoing corrosion issues. The vehicle's mileage of 54,065 miles over approximately 25 years equates to around 2,163 miles annually, suggesting relatively low usage. There are no significant gaps in the mileage record, and the consistent low annual mileage indicates the vehicle may have been well-maintained or driven sparingly. The absence of rapid mileage increases between tests supports this interpretation. A potential buyer should inspect the rear sub-frame for signs of further corrosion, as this component has been noted as corroded but not seriously weakened in recent tests. The brake hoses, especially the rear ones, show signs of deterioration and should be checked for any leaks or excessive wear. Additionally, the exhaust system requires attention due to corrosion, which could lead to leaks or failure. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, it would be prudent to also examine the front brake pipes for any signs of continued corrosion, as these were previously covered in grease and noted as corroded. Lastly, the nearside rear light lens crack observed in the most recent test should be inspected to ensure it does not pose a hazard.
