2012 MERCEDES-BENZ SLK5.4L Petrol

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 27 February 2026 at 42,315 miles with no recorded defects. Earlier failures – the anti‑roll bar linkage dust‑cover issue on 22 April 2025 and tyre‑wear warnings on 31 October 2020 – were addressed, leaving a stable maintenance record in the last two years. Mileage has risen from 13,045 miles in April 2016 to 42,315 miles in February 2026, averaging roughly 3,000 miles per annum. This low‑kilometre usage for a 2012 model suggests light duty rather than periods of neglect, and no abrupt spikes appear between the documented tests. A prospective buyer should verify the near‑side front upper anti‑roll bar linkage dust‑cover, ensuring it now seals against dirt ingress as required. Inspect all four tyres for tread depth and sidewall condition, given repeated wear‑close‑to‑legal‑limit advisories from 2017 through 2020. Examine the windscreen for the longstanding minor stone‑chip damage noted across several years, and confirm that any repair has not compromised structural integrity. Finally, assess the rear brake pads for thickness – they were flagged as thin in November 2019 – and check the exhaust system for proper lambda sensor operation, a fault recorded in the 2020 test.
