Our Verdict
A reasonable prospect for a buyer seekin
Verify the full service history for this 1796cc petrol engine to ensure oil changes have been consistent. Given the vehicle is over 20 years old, check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis and wheel arches. You should use the current MOT advisory regarding the track rod end as a point for negotiation on the final price.
The 1.8L petrol engine will likely have higher fuel consumption than modern equivalents. Road tax is based on the vehicle's age and emissions bracket from 2005, while insurance groups for the CLK range are typically moderate. Annual costs are influenced by the premium parts and specialist labour often required for Mercedes-Benz vehicles of this era.
Pay close attention to the front suspension; the February 2026 MOT noted slight play in the offside front track rod end ball joint, and a previous failure in 2025 mentioned the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint dust cover. Check all exterior lighting and the windscreen washer system, as these were points of failure in 2025. General wear on the interior and electronics should also be assessed given the vehicle's age.
This silver 2005 Mercedes CLK has recorded 110,058 miles. The MOT history is predominantly clean, with one failure in February 2025 relating to lighting, washer jets, and a suspension dust cover, all of which were resolved for a pass three days later.
Aggregate reliability data is unavailable for this model, but this specific vehicle has a relatively stable MOT record.
