The most common problems on the Mercedes Slk 200 Kompressor Auto are registration plate character(s) incorrectly spaced (2 recorded failures), headlamp aim too low (1), and headlamp not working on dipped beam (1). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.
On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is tyre has ply or cords exposed. Dangerous faults cause an immediate MOT failure and mean the vehicle is not roadworthy until repaired. If you're viewing a Mercedes Slk 200 Kompressor Auto with an expired or recently passed MOT, ask the seller whether any dangerous faults were found and fixed during the last test.
A typical Mercedes Slk 200 Kompressor Auto owner drives around 2,330 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
