2007 Mercedes SLK280 Auto 3.0L Petrol · UJZ 3443

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history with a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 10 December 2025 at 31,659 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to June 2021, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has seen very little demanding use. The mileage is remarkably low for a nineteen year old car, averaging roughly 1,666 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity. Between 27,177 miles in June 2021 and 28,587 miles in October 2024, the car covered only 1,410 miles over more than three years. A more recent increase in usage occurred between October 2024 and December 2025, where the odometer rose by 3,072 miles. While the absence of MOT failures is positive, the low mileage and long periods of standing introduce specific mechanical risks. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the rubber components, specifically looking for perished suspension bushes and cracked tyre sidewalls. Brake calipers can seize or discs can corrode when a vehicle sits idle, so checking for binding brakes is essential. The hydraulic roof mechanism and electrical systems should be fully cycled to ensure no seals have dried out during the periods of low use. Although the DVSA records show no structural corrosion or exhaust leaks, the age of the vehicle warrants a close look at the underbody and wheel arches to confirm the absence of rust that may not have been flagged during the brief MOT inspections.
