2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.0L Petrol · WA16 AET

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 15 April 2025 at 80,008 miles returned no defects or advisories. This stable trend suggests that the previous owners have been proactive with maintenance, as the car has consistently avoided the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between April 2021 and April 2025, the vehicle covered 37,588 miles, showing a steady usage profile without periods of extreme neglect or rapid accumulation. The jump from 71,467 miles to 80,008 miles in the final year indicates regular, predictable driving habits which often reduces the likelihood of accelerated wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples. While the MOT history shows no recorded faults, a buyer should conduct a physical inspection to focus on components prone to age in the SLK range. You must check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks, as these can degrade even if the mileage remains low. Examine the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or uneven wear, as the MOT does not measure pad thickness unless a binding occurs. Given the low annual mileage, verify the integrity of the rubber seals and the hardtop mechanism to ensure no perish rot has occurred during periods of standing.
