2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK350

Highlights

• Garaged during winter months and well cared for
• MOT valid until June 2027
• Private registration plate included in the sale
• Extensive service history including Mercedes dealer records
• Sparingly used in recent years, covering around 1,500 miles per year

The Appeal

The R171-generation Mercedes SLK350 combined a slick folding hardtop with a naturally aspirated 3.5-litre V6 and a seven-speed automatic gearbox - all of which comes together to deliver effortless open-top motoring with enough performance for any petrolhead. It was a fitting continuation of a formula the company mastered in the 1970s.

This 2009 example has covered 56,718 miles and has been garaged during winter months throughout its current ownership. It has seen only around 1,500 miles per year in recent use, and the vendor describes the car as being in very good order throughout. A recent oil change has been carried out, and the MOT runs until June 2027. It comes with a part service history comprising Mercedes dealer and independent garage records, and the private registration plate is included in the sale. The current owner notes they would keep the car long-term if circumstances allowed.
