Mercedes SLK 1996 reliability and quality

Production year from 1996 to 2000

Unfortunately, the most recent inspection data for this Mercedes SLK is more than 10 years old, but at that time reliability was very high.

During regular inspections from 2004 to 2012 in average failures were found for approximately only 9 percents of Mercedes SLK.
The most recent data available is for 2012, when the average defect rate for a 15-year-old Mercedes SLK was 18.1 percent, the average for a car that age was 26.8 percent. So in terms of reliability, Mercedes SLK has performed very well, or more reliable than 90% of the other cars tested.

A good used Mercedes SLK could be a bargain - despite its relatively high reliability, it is around 35% cheaper than the average cabrios of a similar age.
