2007 Mercedes SLK 3.0L Petrol · SM02 KLM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT test on 2025-10-06 with 12,613 miles, despite failing due to a nearside rear stop lamp not working. This suggests a stable maintenance trend, but the failure to address a minor defect during the test warrants attention. The vehicle has a clean record of passing tests since 2022, with no major defects recorded. The recorded mileage of 12,613 miles over approximately 19 years equates to a remarkably low annual mileage of around 664 miles. This could indicate that the vehicle has been used sparingly or has spent long periods standing still, potentially affecting certain components such as tyres, suspension, and brakes. Notable gaps in the mileage record are not evident, but the mileage accumulation has been steady, with an increase of 2,193 miles between the 2022 and 2024 tests, and 2,193 miles again between the 2024 and 2025 tests. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, it is essential for the buyer to inspect the tyres, as they may be nearing the end of their lifespan. The buyer should also examine the nearside rear stop lamp and ensure it is functioning correctly. Furthermore, a thorough inspection of the suspension and brake components is recommended, as the vehicle's low mileage may mask underlying issues. Additionally, a visual check for any signs of corrosion or structural rust is crucial, particularly in areas prone to moisture accumulation such as the rear of the vehicle.
