2007 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.0L Petrol · DA04 SCA

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz SLK presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 March 2026 at 65,991 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 11 April 2025 at 65,092 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening faults across the five-year record. Recorded mileage sits at 65,991 after nineteen years, an average of roughly 3,473 miles per year. The SLK covered only 2,307 miles between the April 2023 test at 60,816 miles and the April 2025 test at 65,092 miles, then just 899 miles to the March 2026 test. Such low annual use implies long standing periods rather than sustained wear. The MOT history is sparse and clean, with no advisories or mechanical flags raised at any stage. A single anomaly appears in the April 2025 record: the tester issued a fail on 11 April 2025 at 65,092 miles yet logged no defects, with a pass issued the same day on the same mileage. This suggests an administrative or data-entry irregularity rather than a genuine mechanical fault. Buyers should still verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the test outcome. Given the absence of recorded corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission failures, the SLK's structure and consumables appear sound for its age. In person, a buyer should inspect for standing-related issues not captured by MOT: perished rubber seals, flat-spotted tyres from storage, and damp in the retractable roof mechanism. Check underneath for structural rust on subframes despite the clean tests.
