MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER2014 · 2.1L Diesel

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter passed its most recent MOT on 3 May 2025 at 185,281 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the available history. The vehicle carries a current clean test status. Records show no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage, which suggests the van has met roadworthiness standards consistently when presented. Mileage stands at 185,281 miles against a 12-year lifespan, equating to roughly 15,440 miles per year and placing this Sprinter in the high-use bracket for its age. The odometer moved from 160,689 miles at the May 2023 failure to 160,701 miles by the May 2023 pass one week later, then climbed to 179,681 miles by May 2024 and 185,281 miles by May 2025. Annual accumulation averaged near 12,000 to 19,000 miles, with no standing gaps. The test history is sparse but clean, showing only two failures on 10 May 2023 and 3 May 2025, both with no defects recorded, which points to administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and commercial van loading cycles. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural integrity concerns is reassuring, yet DVSA testers log only visible faults on the day. The twin 2025 entries at identical mileage with one fail and one pass imply the vehicle was presented, rejected, then retested without defect, so verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm no omitted data. Given the clean advisory sheet, previous keepers appear to have maintained basic compliance, though the repeated same-day fail-pass pattern suggests test preparation was rushed. Inspect exhaust emissions and drivetrain wear firsthand before purchase, as 185,000 miles on a diesel Sprinter demands scrutiny beyond the MOT summary.
