2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK 2.3L Petrol · BNZ 6032

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection data. The final MOT test conducted on 17 November 2022 at 123,016 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just thirteen days prior on 04 November 2022 at 123,009 miles, which suggests a minor rectifyable issue, such as a bulb failure or minor adjustment, that was immediately addressed before the re-test. At twenty-five years old, the recorded mileage of 123,016 miles represents low annual usage of approximately 4,900 miles per annum. The data shows a significant gap in testing between October 2021 at 120,094 miles and November 2022, during which time only 3,000 miles were covered. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts and the onset of fluid leaks. Because the last official test was conducted nearly four years ago, a physical inspection must focus on the structural integrity and aging components. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as rust is a common failure point for Mercedes models of this era. Given the low mileage, the brake discs should be checked for pitting or surface, and the suspension bushes should be examined for cracking or perished material which occurs with age rather than distance.
