2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK 2.6L Petrol · 32 EA

This vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean record in recent years. The most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 69,516 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2021, suggesting the car is currently well-maintained and mechanically sound. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twenty-one year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,310 miles per year. The odometer shows a steady, low-volume increase from 57,688 miles in November 2014 to 69,516 miles in November 2025. This suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used solely for short, infrequent journeys. Earlier records indicate a history of minor electrical and consumable failures. The car failed in November 2018 and November 2019 due to faulty position lamps and a wiper blade. A more significant failure occurred on 28 November 2017 at 61,145 miles, where the tester flagged thin rear brake pads alongside lighting faults. A minor advisory for a worn offside rear tyre appeared in November 2020 at 63,516 miles. A buyer should focus on components that degrade during long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record is clean, the low mileage increases the risk of perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or degraded suspension bushes. Inspect the tyres for age-related cracking even if the tread depth is legal. Check for any signs of corrosion on the underbody, as the lack of recent structural advisories does not guarantee the absence of surface rust on a vehicle of this vintage.
