2005 Mercedes SLK 200 Kompressor Auto 1.8L Petrol · MP55 BPZ

The vehicle currently fails the roadworthiness standard. The most recent test on 28 March 2026 at 68,949 miles returned a failure with no defects recorded, which points to an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed every test from 2021 through 2025 with no advisories, so the underlying maintenance trend reads as stable across the recorded period. The SLK shows very low use for a 21-year-old car, with just 68,949 miles logged, averaging around 3,283 miles per year. The records confirm gentle accumulation: 66,339 miles in August 2021, 67,100 in November 2022, 68,124 in February 2024, and 68,382 in March 2025. A gap sits between the 2022 and 2021 tests, but mileage rose only modestly. The clean sheet across five years suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current and avoided letting consumables or structure degrade to advisory level. Because no test ever flagged tyres, suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions, the MOT data alone gives no evidence of recurring wear or structural risk. A buyer should still inspect in person for age-related perishing of rubber components, standing-water damage from long idle periods, and hidden structural rust behind cladding. The 2026 failure with zero defects means the buyer must confirm with the seller whether the car was retested and issued a clean certificate before purchase.
