Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given the very low annual mileage, you should scrutinize the service history to ensure oil changes were performed based on time intervals rather than just mileage. The most immediate point for negotiation is the tyres; the MOT records from 2023 through 2026 consistently highlight cracking and perishing on multiple tyres, suggesting they have aged out and require replacement regardless of tread depth.
Verify the operation of the retractable hardtop and check for any leaks or unusual noises during the cycle. As this car has spent significant time stationary, ensure all rubber seals and consumables have been inspected.
Powered by a 1991cc petrol engine, this SLC will incur moderate fuel costs and falls into a standard tax bracket for its age and emissions. Insurance groups for the SLC are typically mid-to-high, reflecting its premium positioning and engine size.
Annual maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz vehicles can be higher than average, particularly for specialized parts. Expect to budget for premium synthetic oils and high-quality tyres to maintain the vehicle's performance characteristics.
The primary area of inspection is the tyres. MOT records from 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 all specifically note 'slightly damaged/cracking or perishing' on various tyres, which is a common sign of age-related degradation in low-mileage cars. Ensure a full set of fresh tyres is fitted if they have not been replaced since the last test.
Additionally, check the nearside front road wheel, which was recorded as 'slightly distorted' in the March 2022 MOT. Inspect the wheel for any visible bends or vibrations during a test drive. Finally, check the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently.
This grey 2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC is a low-mileage example with only 27,562 miles recorded as of April 2026. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes without a single failure. However, there is a persistent pattern of advisories regarding tyre perishing and cracking spanning four consecutive years.
While aggregate data is unavailable for this model, this specific vehicle has demonstrated a consistent ability to pass its MOT tests without failure.
