Looking to buy 2001 Mercedes silk 320. It says on car fax that it failed safety inspection. What would that mean? Thank you.

What is your question?

It’s a 2001 Mercedes slk 320. I haven’t spoken to the dealer yet because I wanted to get some info on my own. Carfax states it failed safety inspection. Can you explain this for me please? Thank you.

How long has your 2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK320 had this problem?

I don’t own the car yet.
