Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 2002 Mercedes CLK, formerly owned by Richard Branson's wife, presents an interesting opportunity. With only 35,708 indicated miles and a recent advisory-free MOT, it's offered at a modest guide price, though the temperamental electric soft top and lack of service book should be considered.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in generally good condition for its age, but it has some issues. The electric soft top is temperamental, and some plastic clips in the boot are broken. There is wear and tear consistent with a used vehicle, bringing the condition to a Good (6) rating.

Description
Description Ex-Virgin Records for the personal use of Richard Branson's wife; only 35,700 miles indicated; advisory-free MOT
First registered in February 2002, this Mercedes was owned from new until June 2024 by Virgin Records for the personal use of Richard Branson’s wife who kept it at her address in Kensington.
The V5C records five former keepers prior to the current owner, but we are told that this is because it was put into the names of different Virgin-affiliated companies early in its life and was also used by other family members.
It is showing only 35,708 miles which we are told is correct.
Although the handbooks are present there is no service book.
There are a few invoices for upkeep including: August 2019 – MOT and service by Mercedes-Benz Oxford at 35,010 miles
August 2018 – MOT and check-over by M-B Oxford at 34,855 miles
January 2013 – service by M-B Oxford at 30,614 miles
It has an MOT until July 2026 with no advisories recorded plus six old MOTs back to 2013.
