2007 Mercedes-Benz SL 3.5L Petrol · MIB 1154

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 77,914 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean results since 2022. The vehicle shows no advisory or failure items across its recent history, indicating consistent mechanical condition over the last three years. Recorded mileage sits at 77,914 against an age of nineteen years, equating to roughly 4,100 miles per year. The test on 1 June 2022 at 74,029 miles shows a failed entry with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage, a clear administrative or procedural anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. From that point, the car added only 3,885 miles by June 2025, confirming very light use. Such low annual coverage suggests extended standing periods, though the clean test record argues against neglect of statutory checks. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop perished rubber and seizing components unseen by the MOT lane. Structural integrity beneath sills and subframes warrants inspection for corrosion, given the vehicle's age and likely damp storage. The absence of advisories means no specific weak points are flagged, but pre-purchase examination of tyre sidewalls and brake disc condition remains prudent given intermittent use.
