MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER2018 · 3.0L Diesel

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter shows a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with the most recent test on 2025-07-17 confirming no defects at 67,226 miles . The absence of advisories or failures in the last three tests suggests the vehicle has passed all mandatory checks consistently, including brakes, emissions, and structural integrity. However, the duplicate entry for 2024-07-26 —where the vehicle was initially failed but later passed—indicates a minor administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical issue. No recurring faults appear in the record, though the lack of advisories means no pre-existing concerns were formally noted by the tester. Mileage progression averages 8,403 miles per year , which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. The intervals between tests are regular, with 6,000–8,000 miles between each MOT, suggesting consistent driving rather than prolonged storage. There are no gaps longer than 12 months between tests, which rules out extended periods of neglect. The steady accumulation implies routine maintenance was likely adhered to, though the record does not confirm service intervals or non-MOT-related upkeep. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear coil springs and bushes , as these are common wear points on Sprinters at this mileage. The rear brakes warrant scrutiny, as binding or uneven wear is not recorded but can develop without advisories. Exhaust emissions should be monitored for leaks or excessive smoke, though the vehicle has passed all recent tests. Structural corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should be checked, especially if the vehicle has seen wet or salted roads. The tyre tread depth and condition of the wheels (for cracks or deformation) are also critical, as the record does not reflect any tread-related failures. Finally, the cooling system and power steering fluid levels should be inspected, as these are often overlooked but critical for long-term reliability.
