2012 MERCEDES-BENZ SLK1.8L Petrol

This vehicle presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 25 June 2025 at 67,555 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is notably low for a fourteen year old car, averaging roughly 4,825 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last few years, growing from 55,774 miles in June 2022 to 67,555 miles by June 2025. This suggests regular, light usage rather than long periods of stagnation, which typically helps preserve rubber components and seals. The MOT history is unusually sparse regarding faults. A failure on 19 June 2024 was resolved the following day at the same mileage, though the record lists no specific defects for that failure. The absence of any advisories regarding brake disc corrosion, suspension bush wear, or exhaust leaks over a three year period is rare for a vehicle of this age. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check the operation of the folding roof mechanism and inspect the tyres for age-related cracking, as low-mileage cars often run on old rubber. While the DVSA records show no structural corrosion, a manual check of the sills and wheel arches is advised to confirm the chassis remains sound.
