2015 Mercedes-Benz CLK 1.8L Petrol · OU64 FPN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The latest test in July 2022 at 78,714 miles resulted in a pass despite flagging worn front brake discs with a 2mm lip on both sides. This indicates that while the car is currently roadworthy, the braking components are reaching the end of their functional life and require immediate attention to prevent a future failure. The mileage pattern is relatively low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,156 miles per year. There is a significant usage gap between the March 2020 test at 32,783 miles and the July 2021 test at 60,688 miles, where the car covered nearly 28,000 miles in just sixteen months. This burst of activity likely explains the accelerated wear on consumables noted in the subsequent inspections, whereas the vehicle appears to have sat stationary for longer periods in the years between the recorded intervals. A buyer should inspect the front braking system specifically, as the 2022 advisory confirms the discs are thinning. The history also shows instances of minor peripheral failures, such as the inoperative washer jets in 2021 and a TPMS sensor fault in 2020, which suggest the previous owner ignored non-critical items until tested. Given the low mileage but high age, a thorough physical inspection of rubber-based suspension bushes and chassis corrosion is essential, as these components often degrade through age rather than pure mileage.
