2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.0L Petrol · GL61 AKP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-03 at 60,246 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating stable roadworthiness. Historical data from 2023 to 2025 shows consistent passing results, with no recurring mechanical issues or advisories. The absence of defects in the last four tests suggests the car has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, though the low mileage of 60,246 miles over 15 years (approximately 4,016 miles annually) warrants scrutiny for potential long-term storage effects. Mileage progression shows regular intervals between MOTs, with no abrupt spikes or extended gaps. The 2025-02-12 test recorded a pass and a fail on the same date and mileage, which may indicate a data entry anomaly. Despite this, the 2024-02-06 and 2023-02-14 tests at 56,720 and 55,918 miles respectively also passed without defects. The low annual mileage implies minimal wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, but could lead to issues such as seized components or degraded fluids if the vehicle was stored for prolonged periods. A buyer should inspect the undercarriage for corrosion, particularly in areas prone to moisture ingress, and check suspension components like bushes and coil springs for premature wear. The absence of brake-related advisories is positive, but a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers is recommended to confirm no hidden binding or uneven wear. Given the low mileage, verifying the battery’s condition and fluid levels is critical, as these systems may degrade without regular use. No structural integrity issues were flagged, but a thorough pre-purchase check remains essential.
