How many Mercedes-Benz SLS-Classes are left in Great Britain?

There were 198 Mercedes-Benz SLS-Classes licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 200 declared off the road (SORN). That is 45.5% fewer than the peak of 363 in 2014.

Mercedes-Benz SLS-Class MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Mercedes-Benz SLS-Classes in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Mercedes-Benz SLS-Class engine sizes and fuel types

Of the 205 Mercedes-Benz SLS-Classes licensed in the UK at the end of 2025, 100.0% have an engine of 6,201cc to 6,300cc.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.

• Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
• Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model names “SLS AMG, Model Year 2013”, “SLS AMG, Model Year 2014”, “SLS AMG Model Year 2012”, “SLS AMG, Model Year 2011”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Mercedes-Benz SLS-Class safety recalls

We found no recalls for the Mercedes-Benz SLS-Class in DVSA’s records since 1992. That does not mean none apply: DVSA sometimes records a recall under a range or chassis name we cannot match to a model. Check a specific car on GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Mercedes-Benz SLS-Class. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
