Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect due to its
Given the very low annual mileage, the primary focus should be on the condition of rubber components, such as tyres and belts, which can perish regardless of distance travelled. Check for any signs of cracking in the tyres or windscreen seals that may result from long periods of inactivity.
Request a full service history to determine if the oil has been changed at regular intervals despite the low mileage, as oil can degrade over time. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and any preventative maintenance required to bring a low-use vehicle back into regular service.
The 1.8L petrol engine provides a balance of performance and economy, though fuel efficiency will be lower than modern equivalents. Insurance premiums will be typical for a luxury coupe of this age, and road tax is based on the 2005 CO2 emissions bracket.
Annual running costs will include standard Mercedes-Benz maintenance. While the low mileage reduces wear and tear, the age of the vehicle means some parts may require replacement due to time rather than use.
Inspect the braking system, specifically the front inner discs, as these were noted as worn, pitted, or scored in the 2021 MOT record. While the vehicle has passed subsequent tests, it is worth verifying if these components were replaced or if they remain a point of wear.
Check the silver paintwork for any age-related fading and inspect the interior leather and plastics, which should show minimal wear given the 38,279 recorded miles. Ensure all electrical systems are functioning correctly, as dormant electronics in low-mileage cars can occasionally develop faults.
This silver Mercedes CLK (MA05EZE) has recorded only 38,279 miles as of its last MOT in October 2025. The MOT history shows five consecutive passes with no failures and only one minor advisory regarding a front inner brake disc in 2021. It is a low-mileage example of the 1.8L petrol variant.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Mercedes CLK in our current dataset.
