2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC 2.0L Petrol · TH07 RJH

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes without defects. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 11,752 miles returned no recorded faults or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance profile where the vehicle has been kept in a condition that does not trigger the typical mechanical or structural failures seen in high-use cars of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,469 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 10,334 miles and February 2026 at 11,752 miles, the car covered only 1,418 miles. This low usage suggests minimal wear on high-stress components such as the drivetrain and suspension bushings. However, the long intervals between periods of active use can sometimes lead to atmospheric degradation of rubber-based components or flat-spotting on tyres, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. Despite the lack of recorded faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning the rotors. Buyers should also inspect the sidewalls for cracking or dry rot, which occurs with age regardless of tread depth. Because the vehicle has remained stationary for long periods, verifying the integrity of fluid levels and seals is essential to ensure no internal degradation has occurred over time.
