2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK 3.2L Petrol · GY52 AZW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the lack of recent data is a significant concern. The last recorded MOT test occurred on November 2021 at 179,677 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. Given that nearly five years have elapsed since this inspection, the current mechanical state of the car is entirely unverified. This substantial gap in testing means that any degradation of safety components or structural integrity since 2021 remains undocumented in the record. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between October 2019 and October 2020, the car covered 16,052 miles, indicating a period of higher usage. However, the interval slowed significantly between the 2020 and November 2021 tests, where only 11,854 miles were recorded. The absence of any entries since 2021 suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for extended periods, which often leads to perished seals, seized calipers, and brake corrosion despite the low annual mileage. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, as Mercedes-Benz models from this era are prone to corrosion in the rear arches, sills, and subframe mounting. Because the record shows no recent advisories for suspension or brakes, it is vital to inspect rubber bushes and control arms for cracking or tearing due to age. Check for fluid leaks around the engine and test the brake response, as long-term standing can cause surface pitting on the discs. Without a recent MOT, the vehicle carries a high risk profile regarding hidden mechanical failures that do not manifest during a static test.
