2013 Mercedes-Benz SL 3.5L Petrol · LL13 ABO

This vehicle presents as mechanically stable with a clean roadworthiness record. The most recent test on 24 February 2026 at 76,000 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed its initial inspection on the same day at 75,999 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or procedural failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage is low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 5,846 miles per year. The usage pattern shows a period of relative inactivity between October 2023 and January 2024, where the odometer moved only 96 miles. More recent usage has increased, with 3,834 miles covered between January 2025 and February 2026. This low-mileage profile typically reduces wear on the drivetrain but can introduce risks associated with long periods of standing. The MOT history is exceptionally clean, showing no advisories or failures related to suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion over the last three years. The absence of recurring faults indicates a consistent level of care or a vehicle that has seen very light duty. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check the condition of the rubber seals and the operation of the folding roof mechanism, as these are prone to seizing if the car has spent long periods stationary. Verify the age and cracking of the tyres and check for any signs of brake caliper binding, which can occur on low-mileage luxury vehicles.
