Our Verdict

When purchasing a high-performance supercar like this SLS, the MOT history is only one part of the story. While the five recorded tests show no defects, you must request a comprehensive service history to ensure the complex 6.2L V8 engine has been maintained according to manufacturer schedules. Check for evidence of regular oil changes and inspections of the specialized components inherent to this model.
During a physical inspection, pay close attention to the operation of the iconic gullwing doors and the electronic systems. Because the MOT records show no defects across the last five years, the vehicle appears to have been kept in a condition that meets safety standards without issue, but a specialist pre-purchase inspection is always recommended for vehicles of this calibre.
Running costs for this 6208cc petrol engine will be significantly higher than a standard vehicle. Expect high fuel consumption and substantial insurance premiums, likely falling into a high insurance group. Tax bands for a vehicle of this displacement are also at the upper end of the scale.
Maintenance costs will be driven by the specialized nature of the SLS. While the MOT history shows no recent failures, any repairs to the braking system, tyres, or engine components will require specialist parts and labour. Estimate an annual budget that accounts for both high fuel usage and a significant contingency for high-end mechanical upkeep.
Focus your inspection on the mechanical integrity of the large-capacity engine and the drivetrain. Although the MOT history from 2021 to 2026 shows no defects, these tests are snapshots in time; you should still check for any signs of fluid leaks or unusual engine noises.
Specifically, examine the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are common wear items that, while not flagged in the recent MOTs, are critical for a car with this much power. Additionally, check the electronic window and door mechanisms to ensure the gullwing functionality is seamless, as these are specific to the SLS model.
This 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS, finished in white, has covered 48,109 miles since its first registration in October 2010. The vehicle's MOT history is notably clean, showing five consecutive passes between 2021 and 2026 with no recorded defects or failures. Given the low mileage for a vehicle of this age and its massive 6.2L petrol engine, it represents a well-preserved specimen of a modern classic.
There is no aggregate MOT reliability data available for the Mercedes-Benz SLS to provide a statistical comparison.
