2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS 6.2L Petrol · NM51 AMM

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 23 June 2025, confirming its roadworthiness status. While the car passed its most recent inspection without defects, the recurring failure regarding the engine malfunction indicator lamp suggests an underlying electronic or sensor issue that has persisted across consecutive years. This pattern indicates that while the vehicle meets minimum safety standards, the management of its complex powertrain electronics requires closer scrutiny to ensure long-term reliability. With a total of 41,706 miles over sixteen years, the vehicle averages approximately 2,607 miles per annum, which is exceptionally low for a high-performance model of this era. The history shows consistent annual testing between 2023 and 2025, suggesting the car has not been subjected to long-term storage or neglect in the immediate past. This light usage profile generally preserves structural components, yet it also increases the risk of issues related to infrequent operation, such as seized mechanical parts or degraded seals. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the engine management system, specifically investigating the history of the malfunction indicator lamp failures recorded in June 2024 and June 2025. Given the parking brake efficiency failure noted in 2024, the rear braking system warrants a thorough check for binding calipers or stretched cables, as these components often suffer from lack of regular use. Verify that the parking brake holds firmly on an incline and ensure the engine diagnostic system remains clear of stored fault codes during a comprehensive road test.
