2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.1L Diesel · LM64 RZB

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 9 May 2025 at 22,762 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to April 2021, suggesting the car has been maintained to a high standard or has seen very little demanding use. The mileage is remarkably low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 1,897 miles per year. The record shows a steady but light increase in usage, growing from 7,062 miles in April 2021 to 22,762 miles by May 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage that would suggest undisclosed commercial use or sudden changes in ownership patterns. Low mileage vehicles often suffer from deterioration caused by long periods of standing rather than mechanical wear. While the MOT record is flawless, a buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack over time regardless of mileage. The lack of any recorded brake or suspension advisories over five years is positive, but the low usage increases the risk of binding calipers or seized brake sliders. A physical inspection should focus on the operation of the folding roof mechanism and the condition of the battery, as these are common failure points on the SLK when driven infrequently. Check for any signs of surface corrosion on the underbody that the MOT tester may have overlooked due to the vehicle's overall clean condition. Given the absence of any historical faults, the mechanical risk appears low, provided the car has not suffered from stagnation.
