2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.1L Diesel · PE62 MSV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. It passed its most recent MOT on 2 April 2026 at 70,528 miles with no defects recorded. The absence of advisories in the latest test indicates the car is in a clean mechanical state relative to DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is irregular and suggests inconsistent use. Between 21 March 2024 and 14 May 2025, the vehicle covered 15,027 miles, which is typical for a daily driver. However, the jump from 48,473 miles in May 2025 to 70,528 miles by April 2026 shows a rapid increase of 22,055 miles in less than a year. This sudden spike in usage contrasts sharply with the low lifetime average of 5,038 miles per year. The MOT record is exceptionally clean, showing no recurring faults, structural corrosion, or suspension wear across multiple years. The failures on 21 March 2024 and 2 April 2026 were resolved on the same day, which usually points to minor administrative errors or quick-fix consumables rather than deep-seated mechanical failures. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the roof mechanism and rubber seals, as these often perish on low-mileage SLKs regardless of MOT results. Given the recent high-mileage surge, checking the condition of the brake discs and tyre tread is advisable to ensure the increased usage has not accelerated the wear of these consumables.
