1999 Mercedes-Benz SL 3.2L Petrol · V335 DRA

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 8 April 2026 at 75,057 miles. This result continues a trend of clean passes recorded annually since September 2022. The absence of advisories or failures over the last five consecutive inspections indicates that the vehicle met the minimum statutory roadworthiness standards at the time of each test. The recorded mileage of 75,057 over a 27-year lifespan averages approximately 2,780 miles per annum. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has experienced periods of light operation or extended storage. While the MOT history shows no recorded defects during this period, low-mileage vehicles often face specific risks related to long-term inactivity, such as the degradation of rubber seals, hoses, and suspension bushes, which may not always be captured during a standard test. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and subframes, as the MOT test does not guarantee the absence of hidden corrosion in structural areas common to this model. Inspect all hydraulic lines and braking components for signs of perishing or fluid leaks, given the potential for these parts to deteriorate during prolonged periods of standing. Check the condition of tyres for age-related cracking regardless of tread depth, and verify the operation of all electrical systems, as intermittent faults in complex components may not trigger an MOT failure but can prove costly to rectify. Buying score 75. Risk level Low.
