2009 Mercedes-Benz CLK 1.8L Petrol · JP51 KEN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a significant improvement in maintenance over the last several years. The most recent test in December 2025 at 92,269 miles passed with no defects recorded, marking a streak of four clean passes dating back to 2022. This trend suggests that the mechanical and structural issues previously identified have been addressed and that the current owner is maintaining a high standard of preventative care. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a vehicle from 2009, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, such as the 2,610-mile interval recorded between December 2024 and December 2025. However, a notable gap in data exists between July 2019 and January 2021, where the car covered only 2,214 miles, suggesting it sat stationary for extended periods. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain but can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluids if not driven regularly. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and suspension components despite the clean recent. The history shows recurring failures for worn brake pads and imbalanced braking requirements between 2016, 2018, and 2021. Additionally, the fractured offside front coil spring in 2021 indicates that the suspension geometry has been under stress. Given the previous reports of oil leaks and corroded oil cooler pipes in 2017, a thorough inspection of the engine bay for active weeping is necessary to ensure no new leaks have developed during the low-mileage years.
