2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.1L Diesel · KM62 YKG

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 15 December 2025 at 34,888 miles showed no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has been kept in good condition and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures during the inspection periods. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between December 2021 and December 2025, the car covered only 4,475 miles, showing consistent annual usage of roughly 1,100 miles between specific tests. This low level of use typically results in minimal wear on drivetrain components, engine internals, and braking systems. However, such low mileage often suggests that age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown occurs due to lack of movement. Given the lack of recorded advisories, an in-person inspection should focus on components susceptible to long periods of standing rather than mechanical wear. You must check for sidewall cracking on tyres and the potential for seized brake calipers or rusted brake discs from inactivity. The MOT records suggest the structural integrity remains sound, but a physical check of the suspension bushes and the hardtop seals is necessary to ensure they have not perished from age despite the low mileage.
