1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK 3.2L Petrol · EJZ 2161

This 1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK demonstrates an exceptionally clean recent MOT history, indicating a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness status. In the most recent test on June 4, 2025, at an unspecified mileage reading, the vehicle passed with zero defects recorded. This followed a brief hiccup on May 14, 2025, when the car registered a failure, though the record shows no specific defect items attached to that refusal. Prior annual examinations on April 30, 2024, April 24, 2023, and April 25, 2022, all resulted in clean passes without a single advisory. Such a sequence points to attentive preventative maintenance by the previous keepers rather than chronic neglect. The current recorded mileage stands at 103,772 miles, averaging roughly 3,843 miles per year across its 27-year lifespan. This low annual mileage reflects very light usage and suggests the coupe has spent considerable time in storage or restricted weekend use. While low mileage preserves drivetrain components, extended periods of standing can occasionally invite issues with perished rubber bushes, seized brake calipers, or battery drain. The MOT dataset lacks historical mileage figures for the intermediate tests, making it impossible to map precise annual increments, but the aggregate total remains entirely appropriate for a classic grand tourer of this vintage. Prospective buyers should prioritize a thorough physical inspection focusing on structural corrosion and suspension integrity, as these late-nineties Mercedes platforms are notorious for hidden chassis rust beneath the plastic sill covers and around the jacking points. Inspect the multi-link rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake lines for age-related perishing or surface oxidation given the light use patterns. Verify the operation of the engine and transmission under operating temperatures to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in neglected fluid changes or degraded seals.
