2016 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.0L Petrol · HG65 XOF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its latest MOT on 21 November 2025 at 37,258 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive rather than proactive, as evidenced by the immediate failure just one day prior due to a damaged offside rear tyre with cords reaching the ply. Once this defect was rectified, the vehicle presented with no further faults or advisories, suggesting the primary mechanical and structural components remain in a functional condition despite the low mileage. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,726 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the car covered 11,467 miles, indicating consistent but short-distance use. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of age-related degradation. The consistency in annual testing intervals suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods, which is beneficial for maintaining fluid seals and rubber components. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the tyres, as the record shows a recurring pattern of damage and perishing from 2022 through 2025. The tester repeatedly flagged cuts and cracking on the offside front and nearside tyres, which may indicate poor driving conditions or frequent curb contact. Additionally, the TPMS lamp noted in November 2024 at 33,967 miles requires verification to ensure the sensor system is fully functional. Given the low usage, a physical inspection should also check the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as these components often surface rust on vehicles that are driven infrequently.
