2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK 3.5L Petrol · CU54 RVE

The 2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 July 2025 at 95,068 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. Recorded mileage shows light use for a 22-year-old vehicle. The odometer climbed from 88,539 miles in July 2021 to 95,068 miles by July 2025, a total of 6,529 miles over four years or roughly 1,632 miles per annum. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data. The sparse, fault-free history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely periods of standing. Low annual mileage often masks perished rubber components and surface corrosion that a static MOT bay check may not expose. Verify the underbody structural integrity and exhaust emissions during a warm engine run, since the SLK has sat largely idle between short annual trips. The clean record implies a careful keeper, but age-related wear on steering joints and caliper operation warrants hands-on confirmation before purchase.
