MERCEDES-BENZ SL2014 · 3.5L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-11-14 at 51,895 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Previous tests from 2024-11-19 (49,734 miles) and 2023-11-16 (47,686 miles) also passed, though a failure on 2024-11-15 at 49,732 miles—just two days earlier—suggests a potential minor issue resolved promptly. No recurring defects or structural concerns were flagged across the six-year history, implying consistent upkeep. The vehicle’s mileage of 51,895 miles over 12 years equates to approximately 4,325 miles annually, a low figure that may reflect infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity. The MOT records show regular testing with no significant gaps, though the 2024-11-15 failure at 49,732 miles lacks detail on the nature of the fault. This suggests the previous owner addressed minor issues without escalation, though the lack of defect descriptions limits deeper analysis. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear given the low mileage and potential inactivity. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as these can develop during prolonged storage. The exhaust system and underbody should also be examined for rust, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to corrosion in damp conditions. No major structural or mechanical faults are evident from the MOT data, but physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition.
