2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.1L Diesel · LC64 AEK

This Mercedes-Benz SLK presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 58,066 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Although the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The vehicle has covered approximately 4,839 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan, which is significantly lower than the UK average. Mileage accumulation has remained consistent and predictable, increasing by 4,472 miles between December 2023 and December 2024, and further by 3,456 miles by December 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly enough to avoid the stagnation issues common in low-mileage examples. The absence of any advisories or failures across the last four years is rare for a vehicle of this age. No recurring issues with suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions appear in the data. The record indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance, as the car has avoided the typical wear-and-tear failures associated with ageing rubber components and corrosion. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT does not comprehensively cover. The buyer should verify the operation of the folding hard-top mechanism and check for perished tyre sidewalls, as low-mileage cars often require rubber replacement due to age rather than tread wear. Checking for fluid leaks around the engine bay and inspecting the brake fluid condition will confirm if the mechanical care matches the clean DVSA record.
