2019 Mercedes-Benz SL 400 Grand Edition Auto 3.0L Petrol · CX69 HCD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, with all MOT tests from 2022 to 2026 recording no defects. The most recent March 2026 test at 11,953 miles confirms no immediate concerns, and the consistent pass history indicates a stable maintenance trend. No advisories or failures were noted across the five tests, suggesting the car has been well-maintained relative to its low mileage. The mileage pattern reflects minimal usage, with the car accumulating just 1,708 miles annually over seven years. Tests from 2022 to 2026 show incremental increases of 300–400 miles between each inspection, implying prolonged periods of inactivity. This could accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers due to lack of regular movement, though no such issues were flagged in the records. The sparse data also limits insight into potential corrosion or fluid degradation from extended storage. A buyer should inspect the suspension for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as low mileage can mask wear from static periods. Check brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding, and examine the exhaust system for rust, which may develop without frequent use. The battery and electrical systems should also be tested, as infrequent operation can lead to discharge or terminal damage. While the MOT history is clean, these areas require physical verification to confirm the car’s condition beyond recorded tests.
