2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK 3.5L Petrol · 1 MF

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 18 November 2025 at 51,953 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history. The vehicle cleared every annual examination from 2023 through 2025 without any advisories or recorded faults, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Recorded mileage sits at 51,953 against an age of roughly fifteen years, equating to about 3,464 miles per year. The SLK shows light use. Between the failed and passed tests on 24 November 2023 the odometer moved only eight miles, from 41,219 to 41,227, and by 29 October 2024 it reached 46,239, then 51,953 by November 2025. Low annual accumulation implies extended standing periods are likely. The DVSA entries are sparse and entirely clean, with no corrosion, suspension, brake, or emissions concerns logged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. Standing time on a 2011 roadster promotes perishable degradation not captured by a pass with no defects: check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for seizure or weeping. Verify tyre sidewall condition and flat-spotting from storage. The duplicated fail and pass entries on 24 November 2023 and 29 October 2024, both with no defects recorded, suggest administrative re-tests rather than mechanical faults. Previous keepers maintained statutory testing discipline. Given the low mileage and clean history, structural integrity and drivetrain appear sound, but a pre-purchase underside check for corrosion remains prudent on a vehicle of this age.
