2009 Mercedes SLK 5.4L Petrol · SO55 AMG

The 2009 Mercedes SLK presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 April 2026 at 38,153 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken run of clean MOT outcomes across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 38,153 miles against seventeen years of age, an average of roughly 2,244 miles per year. The DVSA data shows light and consistent use: 31,020 miles in November 2021, 31,782 in April 2023, 32,307 in April 2024, 36,775 in April 2025, and 38,153 in April 2026. A gap exists between the 2021 and 2023 entries where no 2022 test appears, but annual tests then resume without fail. No rapid accumulation or sudden jumps occur in the figures. No advisories or defects appear in any test, so the record gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structures, or failing brake components. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, subframe condition, and brake disc wear, as low-mileage cars left standing often develop seizing calipers and surface rust unseen by the annual test. The clean history implies previous keepers maintained basic statutory compliance, though absence of advisories at this age warrants scrutiny of tyres and underbody integrity. Given the low annual mileage, check for degraded rubber mounts and fluid condition that static storage accelerates.
