Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a high-
Given the recent MOT failure in June 2025 involving a weakened nearside front brake disc and worn rear tyres, you must verify that these specific components were replaced with quality parts. Ask for receipts to confirm the work was carried out immediately following the failure.
Because this is a high-capacity 5461cc engine, ensure the service history reflects the correct oil specifications and regular intervals. Check the condition of the hardtop roof mechanism and look for any signs of uneven tyre wear, as the 2025 MOT noted inner edge wear on the rear tyres, which can indicate alignment issues.
Expect running costs to be higher than average due to the substantial 5.5L engine capacity. This vehicle will sit in a higher insurance group and tax band compared to standard SLK models.
Fuel economy will be a primary consideration for daily driving, and maintenance costs for a Mercedes-Benz of this performance level can be significant, particularly regarding large brake discs and performance tyres. An estimated annual running cost of £2,500-£3,500 is realistic, depending heavily on annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the braking system and suspension. The MOT history shows a history of issues including a deteriorated offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover in 2023 and a weakened front brake disc in 2025. Ensure these areas have been thoroughly inspected and repaired.
Check the rear tyres specifically for uneven wear patterns, as the 2025 MOT history flagged inner edge wear. Additionally, with a vehicle of this age and performance, inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks and ensure the electronic components for the retractable roof are functioning smoothly.
This 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK presents with significantly lower-than-average mileage for its age, having covered just over 37,000 miles since June 2015. While the MOT history shows a few specific failures regarding tyres, brakes, and suspension components, the most recent test in July 2026 was passed with no defects recorded. The vehicle's large 5.5L petrol engine suggests a high-performance variant that requires careful attention to maintenance.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 81.2% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being tyres, suspension arms, and coil springs.
