2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.0L Petrol · BW03 YFA

The 2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 March 2026 at 55,270 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable, with every test from 25 March 2024 through to the latest showing clean results. A single failure on 4 February 2026 at 55,225 miles carries no listed defects, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a worn component fault. Recorded mileage sits at 55,270 against an age of roughly 23 years, equating to about 2,400 miles per year and marking this car as exceptionally low use for its class. The tests show a gentle accumulation: 51,763 miles in March 2024, 54,575 by November 2024, 54,579 in March 2025, then 55,225 at the February 2026 failure and 55,270 at the pass weeks later. Only around 3,500 miles were covered across the full two-year span, with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps long enough to raise standing-still corrosion concerns from the data alone. The clean advisory columns across all five entries mean the tester never flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity issues. That spares the buyer from documented recurring mechanical trends, though a low-mileage SLK of this era still warrants a physical inspection of underside corrosion and suspension arm condition where moisture exposure hides unseen. Given the February 2026 failure with zero recorded defects, the buyer should confirm with the seller what triggered the rejection and request the VT30 document. Otherwise, the SLK's MOT trail implies careful, light use with no skipped tests and no consumable neglect surfacing in the official record.
