2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.1L Diesel · DAS 12

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its three most recent MOT tests. The April 2024 test at 61,520 miles passed cleanly, following passes in April 2023 at 56,099 miles and April 2022 at 52,645 miles. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring advisory issues, indicating consistent compliance with DVSA standards over the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 61,520 against an April 2024 test, equating to roughly 5,127 miles per year since registration. The annual increments are modest: 3,454 miles between April 2022 and April 2023, then 5,421 miles to April 2024. Such low yearly use for a 12-year-old vehicle suggests light motoring or extended standing periods, though the record shows no gaps exceeding the standard 12-month cycle. The clean history offers little granular wear data, as no advisories were ever logged. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop perished rubber components or surface corrosion unseen in a pass result. The absence of flagged structural integrity or exhaust emission faults is reassuring, but standing time can hide binding calipers or flat-spotted tyres. Given the sparse but clean record, verify service history and check for underbody rust at chassis mounting points. The previous owner clearly met statutory testing obligations without deferring basic upkeep, yet the MOT alone cannot confirm consumable renewal intervals on this low-use roadster.
