2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.3L Petrol · CW02 DEL

The 2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK presents a stable roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 101,748 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in September 2024 at 99,722 miles and June 2023 at 95,897 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance trend is resolving and consistent, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged across the available record. The vehicle has covered 101,748 miles over roughly 22 years, an average of about 4,625 miles per year. This is low for its age. Mileage crept from 93,891 in April 2022 to 95,897 by June 2023, then 99,722 in September 2024 and 101,748 in September 2025. The sparse but clean history shows light use with no rapid accumulation. A failed test on 5 April 2022 at 93,891 miles was logged with no defects recorded, immediately followed by a pass the same day at identical mileage, indicating an administrative re-test rather than a genuine mechanical fault. A buyer should still inspect the SLK in person for age-related corrosion on structural subframes and suspension mounting points, as the MOT record does not capture latent rust. Check front suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition for wear from long standing periods. Verify exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall cracking given the low annual mileage. The clean test history implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but physical inspection remains essential on a 22-year-old roadster.
