Just bought an SLK55 R172 2014 CAR with 10000 miles on,
anything to look out for ?.

Welcome, as above and a Shell Drivers Club card. I do like the looks of the new model.

What do you mean, look out for? Exhaust flaps can fail apparently, but mine work fine. Speed cameras would definitely be on my list. Enjoy, it truly is a brilliant car

Exhaust flaps... when I turn my key one notch so that the electrics are on, then one of the flaps keeps alternating between open and shut position. Is this normal? It stops doing that when key is in position 2.

mikt, welcome to the fold. When I had the drain tray out which sits above the battery (on the right hand side as you face the bonnet), I found the windscreen drain hole was clogged up with leaf debris. It might be worth checking the drain hole is cleared but should be a minor issue.
