2004 Mercedes-Benz CLK 2.6L Petrol · FS02 AYR

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent pass record over the last several years. The most recent test in September 2025 at 145,630 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day that listed no faults. This suggests a potential administrative error or a minor technicality that was rectified immediately, as the car has since maintained a clean sheet through its subsequent inspections. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. Between September 2021 and September 2023, the car covered only 905 miles, indicating a period of very low use or extended storage. However, usage increased significantly with 2,688 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 1,329 miles in the following year. This recent trend suggests the vehicle is currently being used as a regular driver rather than sitting as a collectors item. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical failures, a buyer must perform a physical inspection of the underbody and rear wheel arches. Mercedes-Benz models from this era are prone to structural corrosion in the sills and floor pans which may not always trigger an MOT failure until they become significant. Given the period of low mileage between 2021 and 2023, the buyer should also check for perished rubber components, specifically suspension bushes and fluid seals that can degrade through age and standing rather than mileage alone.
