Our Verdict
A low-mileage example of the SLC that re
The primary focus for a buyer should be the wheels and tyres. The December 2025 MOT failure specifically noted that both front road wheels were distorted, which can be a sign of heavy impact or poor road care. Ensure that these wheels have been professionally repaired or replaced rather than just patched.
Given the very low mileage for a ten-year-old car, check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes regardless of distance. Low-usage vehicles can suffer from perished rubber components and fluid degradation, which aligns with the multiple MOT failures for 'cracking or perishing' tyres seen in 2023 and 2025.
Equipped with a 1991cc petrol engine, this SLC will have moderate fuel costs, though it is designed for cruising rather than efficiency. Insurance will likely be in a higher group reflecting its status as a luxury roadster, and annual road tax will be based on its CO2 emissions for the 2016 registration year.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz models tend to be higher than average, particularly for specialised parts. Between fuel, tax, insurance, and the likely need for preventative maintenance on a low-mileage older car, annual costs will be significant.
Carefully inspect the front alloy wheels for any signs of buckling or unevenness, referencing the 'distorted' failures from the December 2025 MOT. Check the sidewalls of all four tyres for bulges or cracking; the records show a history of tyre failures, including a bulge in 2023 and exposed cords in 2025.
Additionally, test the operation of the folding roof mechanism to ensure it functions smoothly without leaks or hesitation. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion, which is common in vehicles with such low annual mileage.
This blue 2016 Mercedes-Benz SLC has covered just 22,018 miles. The MOT history reveals failures in both 2023 and 2025, with the most recent issues involving distorted front road wheels and tyres with exposed ply or cords. Despite the low usage, these recurring chassis-related issues suggest a need for a thorough physical inspection.
