2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK 2.6L Petrol · FH54 PLO

The 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 August 2025 at 80,852 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. Mileage accumulation has been exceptionally low for a 21-year-old vehicle. The record shows 76,844 miles in August 2021 rising to just 80,852 miles by August 2025, an increase of 4,008 miles over four years or roughly 1,000 miles annually. Such limited use across the test history suggests long periods of standing rather than regular daily driving, with no gaps or sudden accumulation spikes between the dated entries. The absence of any advisories across all five tests means no recurring suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust emission faults were flagged by testers. A clean sheet of this length implies previous owners addressed issues before each test or the car saw gentle, dry storage. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition. Low-mileage Mercedes of this era commonly develop hidden subframe corrosion and perished rubber components through inactivity. Verify the brake calipers are not seizing after prolonged disuse and confirm the coil springs and suspension mounts remain sound despite the favourable record.
