2014 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.1L Diesel · SF14 TLK

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean MOT record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 1 October 2025 at 75,344 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the previous owner has proactively addressed potential mechanical or safety issues before they could trigger a failure, maintaining a consistent history of passes. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent, reflecting an average usage of approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between the September 2021 test at 55,400 miles and the 2025 test at 75,344 miles, the car covered 19,944 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is often beneficial for the preservation of rubber components, seals, and hydraulic systems that can suffer from degradation in stationary low-mileage cars. While the record shows no recurring advisories for structural corrosion or suspension components, a physical inspection should focus on common wear points for an aging Mercedes-Benz SLK. A buyer must verify the condition of the hardtop mechanism for any hydraulic leaks or erratic movement, as the MOT does not test the full operational cycle. Given the low mileage relative to the age, check the age of the tyres and suspension bushes for cracking, as these materials can perish over time regardless of tread depth.
