2008 Mercedes CLK 1.8L Petrol · LC08 AAA

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 52,374 miles returned no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the vehicle has been kept in a condition that avoids the common mechanical failures or structural degradations typically seen in older Mercedes-Benz models. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle from 2008, averaging approximately 2,910 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 50,546 miles and March 2026 at 52,374 miles, the car covered only 1,828 miles over a four-year period. This pattern of use suggests the vehicle is likely used as a seasonal or occasional car rather than a daily driver. While this low mileage reduces wear and tear on the engine, gearbox, and braking components, it also suggests the car has sat stationary for extended periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown. While the MOT record shows no recorded faults, a buyer must inspect for specific issues associated with low-mileage storage. Focus the inspection on perished suspension bushes, split hoses, and tyre sidewalls which crack due to age rather than distance. The brake discs should be checked for surface corrosion or pitting that often develops when vehicles are not used frequently. Given the age of the chassis, a thorough visual check for structural integrity around the wheel arches and under sills is necessary, as the MOT only tests for corrosion that has reached a specific threshold of failure.
