In Brief:

• A great example of a very low mileage R171 generation SLK
• Finished in Black over a Black leather interior
• Owned by the current keeper from new
• Accompanied by service book displaying 7 stamps
• Genuine 21,297 miles from new

Auctioneer's Notes:

A tidy and appealing example of the Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 Kompressor, finished as a smart two-seat roadster with the added benefit of Mercedes’ folding Vario-roof. This example is particularly notable for having had just 1 owner from new and showing a genuine 21,000 miles, making it a low-mileage and well-kept example of the R171 generation SLK.

Maintenance & Condition:

The car is accompanied by handbooks and manuals, together with the service book showing 7 stamps. Invoices on file, dating between 2009 and 2017, total over £3,000 and detail ongoing maintenance including MOT tests, regular oil and brake fluid changes, and routine attention to filters, spark plugs and bulbs. The electric folding roof is reported to operate, although a slight hydraulic leak is noted and should be borne in mind.

History:

Having remained with its first owner from new, this SLK presents with pleasingly low mileage and supporting documentation. The history file includes the original handbooks, manuals, stamped service book and a selection of maintenance invoices, helping to evidence the care the car has received over the years.

The Model:

The 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK 200 Kompressor forms part of the R171 generation, combining compact roadster styling with everyday Mercedes-Benz usability. Powered by a 1.8-litre supercharged four-cylinder engine producing around 163 bhp, it offers responsive performance, rear-wheel-drive handling and the convenience of the retractable metal Vario-roof, allowing it to transform from coupé to convertible at the touch of a button. Lighter and more economical than the larger-engined variants, the SLK 200 Kompressor remains a popular choice for those seeking stylish open-top motoring with manageable running costs.

Sale Insight:

With just 1 owner from new, genuine low mileage and a well-presented history file, this SLK 200 Kompressor represents an attractive modern-classic Mercedes-Benz roadster. The noted roof hydraulic leak is a point for future attention, but with the roof currently operating, smart presentation and only 21,000 miles recorded, it offers an appealing opportunity for enjoyable top-down motoring.

Estimate:
£3,000 - £4,000
