2011 Mercedes-Benz SLK 3.5L Petrol · OU61 FNS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having maintained a clean record through its most recent inspection. On October 20 2025 at 97,116 miles, the car passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a brief period in April 2024 where the vehicle failed the initial test but was subsequently rectified, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing immediate mechanical failures to ensure the car meets legal standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between June 2022 (80,605 miles) and May 2023 (82,648 miles), the car covered only 2,000 miles, indicating a period of limited use. However, the mileage increased significantly by 14,468 miles between May 2023 and October 2025, showing a return to regular driving habits which generally helps prevent seals and components from seizing during standing. While the record shows no recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on common failure points for this age and model. The buyer must verify the structural integrity of the chassis, specifically checking for corrosion in the sills and suspension mounting points which the MOT test may miss. Given the mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes and the state of the brake calipers are critical, as these components often degrade over time regardless of the total distance driven.
