2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · DK65 AJY

The 2026‑07‑07 MOT confirms the 2015 Mercedes‑Benz Sprinter remains roadworthy, having passed with only a minor rear anti‑roll bar pin or bush wear noted at 129,347 miles. The previous failure on 12 August 2024, where rear brakes were imbalanced, the nearside rear brake was weak, the offside rear service brake was excessively binding and the parking brake efficiency was below requirements, was remedied before the subsequent 17 June 2025 test, which recorded 128,823 miles with no defects. Since then the vehicle has passed the 7 July 2026 test, indicating a stable maintenance record with no recurring serious faults. The mileage trajectory shows consistent use over the vehicle’s 11‑year life: it rose from 18,314 miles in October 2016 to 129,347 miles by July 2026, averaging 11,759 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for its age. Notably, the 2024 tests were conducted only four days apart, and the interval from the 2025 test to the 2026 test spans 13 months with an increase of 5,524 miles, or roughly 4,250 miles per year, suggesting regular but not excessive annual mileage. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension components highlighted in the record – inspecting rear anti‑roll bar pins, bushes and associated mounting points for play, checking coil springs, shock absorbers and suspension bushes for wear or corrosion, and verifying the condition of the rear brake calipers, discs and pads for binding or uneven wear. Particular attention must be given to the parking brake mechanism, ensuring it releases fully and holds securely, and to the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the 2024 failure indicates a history of binding and imbalance that may re‑emerge if worn components are not replaced.
