2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.1L Diesel · CM06 PCM

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 12 June 2026 at 48,571 miles resulted in no recorded defects, maintaining a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard, avoiding the progressive mechanical or structural failures that typically affect older vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old Mercedes, averaging approximately 3,736 miles per year. Between May 2022 and June 2026, the car covered only 7,129 miles, showing a very consistent and low-frequency usage pattern of roughly 1,780 miles annually. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain components, engine assemblies, and braking systems. The lack of advisories across these tests indicates that the vehicle has likely been stored well and kept in good condition, free from significant corrosion. While the MOT record shows no immediate faults, a buyer must inspect for issues common to low-mileage vehicles. Long stationary periods can lead to degradation of rubber components such as suspension bushes, split boots, and tyre sidewalls, regardless of tread depth. The buyer should check for brake caliper seizing or disc corrosion, which can occur when vehicles are used infrequently. Given the age, a thorough inspection of the chassis for structural integrity and surface rust is also essential, as MOT tests only identify visible corrosion in specific areas.
