2008 Mercedes-Benz CLK 1.8L Petrol · AY58 GZK

The vehicle maintains an exemplary roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on 8 April 2026 at 46,649 miles. This record demonstrates a highly stable maintenance trend, as the car has cleared five consecutive annual tests without a single recorded advisory or failure. Such a consistent history suggests the owner has prioritised proactive upkeep, ensuring all safety-critical systems remain within regulatory standards. The total recorded mileage of 46,649 over an eighteen-year lifespan averages approximately 2,592 miles per annum, which is exceptionally low for a Mercedes-Benz of this era. The mileage accumulation is remarkably linear, with the vehicle covering between 1,000 and 1,700 miles annually across the last five years. This steady usage pattern indicates the car has likely been kept in regular, light service rather than being left to sit idle for extended periods, which often leads to fuel system degradation or seized mechanical components. While the MOT history is clean, the age of the vehicle necessitates a thorough physical inspection of rubber components and structural integrity. Low-mileage examples of this vintage often suffer from perishing suspension bushes, engine mounts, and brake hoses due to age-related material fatigue rather than mechanical wear. Check the subframes and wheel arches for hidden corrosion, as these areas are prone to oxidation even when the vehicle is stored indoors. Ensure the transmission shifts smoothly during a cold start, as the low mileage may mask underlying issues with the torque converter or fluid condition that a standard MOT test does not evaluate.
