2002 Mercedes-Benz CLK 4.3L Petrol · YX02 ACO

The vehicle presents a remarkably clean MOT history, having passed five consecutive tests without a recorded defect. The most recent inspection on 16 March 2026 at 47,063 miles resulted in no failures or advisories, indicating a consistent standard of maintenance over the last four years. The absence of recurring advisories regarding brake components, suspension bushes, or exhaust corrosion suggests that the vehicle has either been stored in a controlled environment or maintained by a proactive owner who addressed minor issues before they reached test threshold. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 1,961 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered only 747 miles, moving from 46,316 to 47,063 miles. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often introduces risks related to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts. A buyer should specifically inspect for perished tyres, cracked suspension bushings, and seized brake calipers, which frequently occur when vehicles sit stationary for long periods despite low mileage. Given the lack of recorded advisories, the structural integrity of the chassis appears sound according to the DVSA records. The data shows a stable maintenance trend with no signs of worsening mechanical failure. However, because the MOT does not cover fluid leaks, belt condition, or fluid quality, a physical inspection of the underbody and the state of the rubber seals is essential, as these components are most likely to fail due to age rather than the distance covered.
