2012 Mercedes-Benz SL 3.5L Petrol · WH05 BTM

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and high standard of maintenance. The most recent test on 25 September 2025 at 108,007 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2021, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the need for corrective repairs at the point of testing. The mileage accumulation shows a significant increase in recent years. Between October 2021 and October 2022, the vehicle covered 9,424 miles. This trend accelerated sharply between October 2022 and November 2023, where the odometer rose from 64,224 to 87,978 miles, a jump of over 23,000 miles in a single year. More recent usage has stabilised, with 11,045 miles added between November 2023 and October 2024. Despite the absence of MOT failures, a buyer should still verify the condition of high-wear components given the age and mileage. The lack of advisories regarding brake discs, pads, or suspension bushes is unusual for a 14-year-old vehicle with 108,007 miles. You should physically inspect the underbody for signs of corrosion and check the service history for evidence of preventative maintenance, such as gearbox oil changes and suspension refreshes, which the MOT test does not comprehensively cover. Check the operation of the folding roof mechanism and the condition of the hydraulic seals. While the DVSA record shows no mechanical failures, these complex systems often degrade regardless of MOT outcomes. Confirming that the tyres and brakes have been replaced in line with the recent increase in annual mileage will ensure the vehicle remains safe for immediate use.
