Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Focus on the service history to ensure the diesel engine has been maintained, particularly regarding oil changes and filter replacements. Check for evidence that the brake discs mentioned in the 2022 and 2023 MOTs have been replaced to avoid immediate maintenance costs. Given the model's aggregate failure patterns, pay close attention to the condition of the suspension arms and coil springs during your inspection.
Equipped with a 2143cc diesel engine, this SLK generally offers better fuel economy than its petrol counterparts. Tax and insurance costs will depend on the specific CO2 emissions of this diesel variant and the driver's profile. Maintenance for Mercedes-Benz vehicles can be higher than average, particularly when using genuine parts for the SLK range.
Inspect the nearside front anti-roll bar pin and bush, as this was flagged as worn in the October 2025 MOT. Check the condition of the brake discs, specifically the rear and front inner discs which were noted as worn or pitted in previous tests. Ensure the tyres are evenly worn and have sufficient tread, as inner tyre wear was recorded in 2022.
This 2013 white Mercedes-Benz SLK diesel has recorded 75,018 miles. Its MOT history shows four consecutive passes, with only minor wear-and-tear advisories regarding brake discs, tyres, and suspension bushes. It represents a stable example of this model with mileage that is moderate for its age.
The SLK has a respectable average MOT pass rate of 81.2%, with the most common failures typically relating to tyres and suspension components.
