Our Verdict
This 1993 Mercedes-Benz SL is a usable classic with a largely clean MOT record, but the low annual mileage and one failed test warrant caution. Budget for specialist maintenance and verify the reason behind the 2020 failure before committing.
Given the vehicle's age and low recent mileage, prioritise a thorough inspection by a Mercedes-Benz classic specialist rather than a general garage. The 2020-09-18 MOT shows a failure and a pass on the same day at 114,094 miles with no defects recorded, which often indicates an administrative or minor presentation issue, but you should obtain the full VOSA record to confirm what was initially flagged. Service history is critical on a 1993 SL; without stamped books and receipts, assume overdue wear-item replacement on suspension, hood mechanism, and cooling system.
