MERCEDES-BENZ SLK2015 · 2.1L Diesel

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 March 2026 at 50,234 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean passes since April 2023. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the supplied history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory test standards. Recorded mileage sits at 50,234 against an eleven-year age, averaging roughly 4,567 miles per year. The DVSA data charts steady low use: 32,657 miles at the May 2023 failure, 32,676 at the May 2023 pass five days later, then 38,104 in April 2024, 43,579 in April 2025, and 50,234 in March 2026. Annual accumulation holds near 5,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps. The lone blemish is the 5 May 2023 failure at 32,657 miles, reversed by a pass on 10 May 2023 at 32,676 miles with no defects listed on either entry, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than component failure. Given the clean advisory sheet, the buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust emission concerns from the record. Low mileage and probable periods of standing still still warrant a physical check of perishable items the test may not capture. Inspect tyre sidewall cracking, brake caliper seizure from inactivity, and underbody structural integrity for dormant rust. The SLK's history implies a careful keeper who maintained statutory roadworthiness without deferred consumables. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm fluid condition and suspension articulation, as light use can mask degraded rubber components invisible to the MOT lane.
