2007 Mercedes-Benz CLK 3.0L Petrol · FV56 RAX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 29 August 2025 at 72,047 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure was noted just one week prior at 72,037 miles, the lack of listed defects on that entry suggests a potential administrative error or a sensor issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 69,915 miles and August 2025 at 72,047 miles, the car covered only 2,132 miles over three years. This low usage suggests the vehicle has likely sat for long periods, which often reduces overall mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading, seals drying, and fluid contamination from lack of movement. Given the clean history of recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on issues associated with low-mileage age. A buyer should examine the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion, as moisture can affect older Mercedes models regardless of distance driven. The suspension system should be checked for perished bushes and seized shocks, which are common in cars that are infrequently used. Additionally, the tyres should be inspected for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as tread depth may be sufficient despite the age of the rubber.
