2019 Mercedes-Benz SLC 3.0L Petrol · JK09 DAV

The vehicle displays an exemplary roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT on 26 August 2025 resulting in a clear pass at 13,049 miles. This history indicates a stable and high standard of maintenance, as the car has successfully cleared every annual inspection since 2022 without a single advisory or defect noted by the testing stations. The brief failure recorded on 21 August 2025 at 13,035 miles appears to be an administrative anomaly or a minor technical glitch, given that the vehicle passed a full inspection only five days later without any recorded remedial work. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 1,864 miles per year over the vehicle's seven-year lifespan. This pattern suggests the car has spent significant periods in storage or seen only light, occasional use. While low mileage often preserves major mechanical components, it can lead to issues related to inactivity, such as seized brake calipers, perished rubber seals, or degraded fluids that have not been cycled through the system regularly. The consistent, low-volume usage confirms the vehicle has not been subjected to the high-stress cycles typical of daily commuting or long-distance motorway travel. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to deterioration during long periods of standing. Check the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from oxidation when left stationary in damp conditions. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking or flat spots that may have developed while the car remained parked. Verify that the battery holds a strong charge and that all electronic systems function correctly, as the low mileage may indicate infrequent use of the charging system. Overall, the clean MOT history provides strong evidence of a well-cared-for vehicle, provided the routine service schedule has been maintained despite the limited annual distance covered.
