2016 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER2.1L Diesel

The most recent MOT on 17 September 2025 recorded a pass at 90,823 miles, indicating that the vehicle met the statutory requirements at that date. No defects were logged, and the earlier failure on 13 September 2025 contained no recorded faults, suggesting the failures were administrative rather than mechanical. With successive passes in 2023, 2024 and 2025 and no recurring advisories, the maintenance trend appears stable. A ten‑year‑old Sprinter with 90,823 miles averages roughly 9,000 miles per annum, which sits within normal usage for a light commercial vehicle. The mileage rose sharply from 53,504 miles in September 2023 to 82,141 miles by September 2024, a jump of about 28,600 miles in twelve months, indicating a period of intensive operation. The subsequent increase to 90,823 miles by September 2025 reflects a more moderate rate of about 8,700 miles in the following year, suggesting a possible reduction in duty or more measured use. Given the absence of recorded defects, a buyer should still verify the condition of wear items that are not captured by the MOT records. Inspect tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as high mileage in a short span can accelerate tyre wear. Examine brake discs and pads for scoring or glazing, and check that calipers move freely without binding. Assess suspension components—particularly bushings and coil springs—for any signs of fatigue or corrosion, especially around the front axle where load stresses are greatest. A visual survey for rust on structural panels and the under‑carriage will confirm that the vehicle’s chassis remains sound.
