Our Verdict
A rare, low-mileage example of the 2001
Given the exceptionally low mileage for a 25-year-old car, you should verify the service history to ensure the vehicle has not spent long periods stationary, which can lead to perished rubber seals and degraded fluids. Check if oil and filter changes were performed based on time intervals rather than mileage.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and other rubber components; even with low mileage, these parts degrade over time and may require replacement for safety. Ensure all electrical components are functioning correctly, as older Mercedes models can develop dormant electrical faults if left unused.
The 2.0-litre petrol engine will offer modest fuel economy by modern standards. Road tax will be determined by the vehicle's 2001 emissions bracket, and insurance costs are typically moderate for this class of coupe, though this varies by driver profile.
Maintenance costs for a Mercedes of this era can be higher than for budget brands, particularly for genuine parts. Expect an annual budget that accounts for the higher fuel consumption and the need for age-related preventative maintenance.
Inspect the chassis and bodywork for corrosion, which is a common concern for vehicles of this age. Although the provided data does not list the specific reason for the October 2021 MOT failure, you should closely examine the brakes, tyres, and suspension for wear or age-related cracking.
Check the condition of the blue paintwork and the interior materials to ensure they are consistent with the 61,782 miles recorded. Test the air conditioning and all interior switches to ensure they remain operational after two decades of use.
This blue 1998cc petrol CLK has recorded 61,782 miles as of its last MOT in April 2023. The MOT history shows three passes and one failure in 2021, though no specific defects were listed in the provided records for any of these tests. Its mileage is notably low for a vehicle first registered in March 2001.
There is no aggregate MOT data available for the Mercedes-Benz CLK to establish a general reliability pattern.
