2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK 2.6L Petrol · DF04 GTY

The 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK presents as roadworthy following a pass on 22 July 2025 at 167,212 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the most recent history showing clean tests and no outstanding advisories. The vehicle carries a clean MOT slate as of its last examination, roughly eleven months before the current date. Annual mileage sits at approximately 7,601 miles, typical for a 22-year-old vehicle of this class. Between the November 2022 pass at 164,808 miles and the October 2023 pass at 166,456 miles the car covered only 1,648 miles, indicating a period of light use. From October 2023 to July 2025 the odometer advanced just 756 miles, confirming the CLK has been sparingly driven in its later life. The recorded history is sparse and clean, with no advisories or consumable wear flagged at any stage. The test on 15 November 2022 failed at 164,804 miles yet logged no defects, and the retest on 16 November 2022 passed with no defects at 164,808 miles. An identical pattern occurred on 15 July 2025, failing with no defects recorded before passing one week later at 167,212 miles. These administrative failures with zero recorded faults suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical defect, though a buyer should confirm the exact failure reasons with DVSA. Given the age and the absence of flagged corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions problems, a buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition. Mercedes chassis of this era are prone to rust at sill and subframe mounts even when MOT records show clear. Verify the binding calipers, coil springs, and tyre tread in person, as the sparse record offers no evidence of recent consumable replacement.
