2007 Mercedes-Benz SLK 1.8L Petrol · RV57 MWG

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of mechanical maintenance. The most recent test on 4 October 2025 at 99,227 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2021, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the recurring failures typical of a nineteen year old vehicle. The mileage is low for the age of the car, averaging roughly 5,222 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last five years, moving from 75,862 miles in September 2021 to 99,227 miles by October 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or significant periods of inactivity that would suggest the car sat dormant for years, which often leads to perished seals or seized calipers. Despite the flawless DVSA record, a buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the convertible roof mechanism and the hydraulic seals. MOT tests do not comprehensively evaluate the operational integrity of the folding hardtop. Given the low annual mileage, the rubber components and suspension bushes may be prone to drying out or cracking despite the lack of wear-related failures. Check for signs of surface corrosion on the underbody and sills, as the MOT record does not mention any structural advisories. While the absence of brake or tyre advisories across five years suggests diligent upkeep, a manual check of the brake disc condition and tyre dates is advisable to ensure consumables have been replaced based on age rather than just tread depth.
