2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK 2.0L Petrol · SP58 AGY

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 22 August 2025 at 80,744 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2021, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance and a vehicle that has been kept in peak mechanical condition. The mileage is low for an 18 year old car, averaging roughly 4,486 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady and predictable over the last five years. Between 4 August 2021 and 25 July 2022, the car covered 976 miles, while the most recent interval between 20 August 2024 and 22 August 2025 saw an increase of 1,944 miles. These figures indicate the car is used sparingly but regularly, reducing the risk of deterioration associated with long periods of standing. Because the MOT record is devoid of any flagged issues, there are no recurring mechanical faults to highlight. The absence of advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions is rare for a vehicle of this vintage. This suggests the previous owner addressed wear and tear before the annual inspections. A buyer should still focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT tester may overlook or that do not trigger a failure. Check the operation of the folding hardtop mechanism for smooth movement and ensure there are no leaks around the seals. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion on the chassis and check the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often require rubber replacement due to perishability rather than tread wear.
