2015 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.1L Diesel · KO15 ACF

The May 28 2025 MOT at 45,753 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend, as each preceding test from 2022 through 2024 also returned clean results with zero recorded failures. Mileage has risen steadily from 33,433 miles in June 2022 to 45,753 miles in May 2025, an increase of roughly 12,320 miles over three years, or about 4,100 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s age of 11 years and suggests consistent, moderate use rather than aggressive driving; the only anomaly is the dual entry on May 26 2023, where the car failed the same test but no defects were logged, implying a minor issue was rectified before the subsequent pass. A buyer should therefore prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, test the brake calipers for binding and examine the brake discs for scoring or excessive wear, and scrutinise the chassis and wheel‑arch areas for structural rust that could compromise integrity, while also checking the condition of the exhaust system and any previous advisory notes to ensure they were fully remedied. Given the low annual mileage, consumable items such as tyre tread depth and wiper blades may appear serviceable, yet the absence of documented defects does not guarantee that underlying components have not suffered from prolonged inactivity, so verification of fluid condition and functional operation of the steering and transmission is advisable before purchase.
