2013 Mercedes-Benz SL 3.5L Petrol · JA54 CAS

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz SL presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 80,048 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear anywhere in the supplied history, which indicates the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime over this period. Annual testing from June 2021 to June 2025 shows consistent low yearly use. The odometer moved from 56,901 miles in June 2021 to 80,048 miles in June 2025, an average of roughly 5,787 miles per year. The gaps between tests are exactly twelve months apart with no lapsed certificates. Such a clean and evenly spaced record suggests a keeper who maintained statutory testing discipline, though the sparse entries give no visibility of consumable replacement between tests. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness given the car's thirteen-year age. The MOT record flags no corrosion or structural concerns, yet standing periods implied by low mileage can conceal perished rubber components and surface rust beneath sills. Verify the condition of tyres and wiper blades, as these were never advised but fall outside the test's defect threshold when marginally worn. The absence of recurring faults means no worsening mechanical pattern exists to report. Given the last test sits just over twelve months old relative to today's date, the next MOT will soon fall due. Treat the clean history as evidence of basic compliance rather than proof of proactive overhaul on ageing Mercedes V8 or V6 hardware.
