2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.1L Diesel · CU13 VFG

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK passed its most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 95,797 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend is stable with no recurring advisories or failures on mechanical grounds. The vehicle carries a clean test outcome in its latest examination, which suggests the present keeper addressed whatever administrative or presentation issue caused the failed test four days earlier on 9 March 2026 at the same mileage, where the tester logged no defects. Recorded mileage sits at 95,797 miles against a 13-year life, an average of roughly 7,369 miles per year and consistent with typical use for this model. The history shows a flat period between 31 July 2024 and 11 March 2025 where the odometer moved only 75 miles from 82,025 to 82,100, implying the car stood largely unused or was driven very little across those seven months. A further 13,697 miles were added by March 2026, a moderate annualised rate with no sudden accumulation that would flag accelerated wear on drivetrain or suspension components. The two failed tests in 2024 and 2026 both recorded no defects, which points to documentation, lighting, or plate anomalies rather than worn brake discs, failed suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, front coil springs, and rear brake calipers given the car's age, and confirm the exhaust emissions and underbody for rust that a no-defect MOT may not capture if within permissible limits. Given the sparse and clean record, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic statutory compliance, though the repeated no-defect failures suggest lapses in pre-test preparation rather than mechanical neglect.
