2002 MERCEDES-BENZ CLK3.2L Petrol

The 2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 101,894 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of annual passes since October 2022. Mileage sits at 101,894 against a 24-year lifespan, averaging roughly 4,246 miles per year. The record shows steady low annual use: 82,929 miles in October 2022 rose to 83,386 by 26 October 2022, then 90,422 (October 2023), 97,676 (October 2024), and 101,894 (October 2025). A failed test on 11 October 2022 at 82,929 miles carries no listed defects, with a pass fifteen days later at 83,386 miles, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded minor correction rather than mechanical neglect. The sparse history shows no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, calipers, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the recorded period. Low mileage and a clean sheet imply the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current, though long standing periods common at this usage level can hide perished rubber seals or flat-spotted tyres. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity for underside rust, check brake lines and flexible hoses for age cracking, and verify the automatic gearbox and suspension linkages given the car's age. The absence of MOT flags does not exempt a 24-year-old Mercedes from wear invisible to the test bay.
