MERCEDES-BENZ SLC (2016-21)

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The MERCEDES-BENZ SLC (2016-21) is a compact, premium two-seat roadster, with a folding metal roof that lets it switch from coupé-like comfort to open-top motoring. In the UK used-car market, it offers a more compact, intimate alternative to larger luxury convertibles and carries Mercedes-Benz’s polished, upmarket appeal and distinctive styling.

mycarcheck.com records 5,341 checks covering 2,218 different SLCs, a substantial sample of buyer interest. The average private-sale valuation is £18,500, while cars average 30,000 recorded miles and around 6,000 miles annually. With about 1.4 previous keepers on average, these figures suggest many examples have had relatively limited ownership and use.

It suits couples or drivers wanting a weekend car that can also handle commuting and trips, rather than family duties. The SLC stands out for its retractable roof and refined feel; against the BMW Z4 and Audi TT Roadster, it is a choice for top-down drives.
