Our Verdict
This 2013 Mercedes-Benz SLK shows a gene
When inspecting this SLK, pay close attention to the age and condition of all four tyres, as perishing and cracking have been recurring issues across multiple tests between 2025 and early 2026. Verify the service history to ensure routine maintenance has kept pace with the mileage accumulation. Check that all electrical components, particularly the folding hardtop roof mechanism, operate smoothly without hesitation.
Equipped with a 2143.0cc diesel engine, this SLK should offer reasonable fuel economy for a roadster, particularly on longer journeys. Insurance grouping will sit towards the upper-middle tier typical of Mercedes-Benz sports cars. Maintenance costs should account for common model weak points such as suspension arms and coil springs alongside routine tyre replacements.
Scrutinize the tyre condition closely, cross-referencing the 2026 failure for perished and cracking outer shoulders, as well as the 2025 advisories for edge wear. Inspect the suspension arms and coil springs during a test drive, as these represent top MOT failure reasons for the SLK model aggregate. Additionally, test the folding hardtop roof thoroughly for leaks, dampness in the boot, and smooth mechanical operation.
First registered in June 2013, this black Mercedes-Benz SLK features a 2143.0cc diesel engine and has covered 89,365 miles by its latest test in January 2026. The MOT record demonstrates regular testing, including a recent failure in January 2026 due to multiple perished and damaged tyres which was subsequently rectified before a pass days later. Previous tests in 2025 and 2023 also highlighted tyre wear and cracking advisories.
The Mercedes-Benz SLK achieves an average MOT pass rate of 81.2% across the UK fleet, with common failure points centred on tyres, suspension arms, and coil springs.
