2016 Mercedes-Benz SL 3.0L Petrol · EP16 LKD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clear improving trend over the last three years. As of the most recent test in March 2026 at 35,817 miles, the car passed with no recorded defects. This follows two years of clean results in 2024 and 2025, indicating that previous mechanical and lighting issues have been successfully addressed and rectified by the current owner. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between March 2022 and March 2026, the car covered 13,055 miles, suggesting infrequent road use or long periods of storage. While this low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of rubber-based components perishing or brake components seizing due to to age rather than distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the tyres and the braking system, as the 2022 and 2023 records highlighted perishing, sidewall damage, and wear. The 2023 failure regarding the nearside rear indicator and a nail in the tyre suggests that minor consumable maintenance was overlooked in the past. Given the low usage, verify that the brake discs are free of heavy corrosion and that the suspension bushes have not begun cracking from age.
