2016 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 314CDIDiesel

The most recent MOT, taken on 28 June 2025 at 187 125 miles, returned a clean pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle has consistently shown no faults in the five recorded tests, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The two failed tests in June 2024 and June 2025 were followed immediately by passes, suggesting that any issues were either resolved or not detected during the brief inspection windows. At 10 years old the Sprinter has accumulated 187 125 miles, an average of roughly 18 700 miles per year. The mileage progression is steady: from 140 161 miles on 18 April 2023 to 166 700 miles on 10 June 2024 (26 539 miles over 14 months), then to 186 534 miles on 14 June 2025 (19 281 miles over 12 months). No sudden spikes or large gaps appear in the record, and the data, while sparse, shows a consistent usage pattern typical of a high‑use commercial van. When inspecting the vehicle in person, focus on components that commonly wear in high‑mileage vans. Check tyre tread depth, tread wear patterns, and tyre sidewalls for cracking. Inspect the wiper blades, headlights, and rear lights for functionality and damage. Examine the brake system: discs, pads, calipers, and brake fluid for wear, corrosion, and leaks. Verify the suspension bushings, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue or damage. Look for underbody rust, especially along the chassis and wheel arches, and assess the structural integrity of the body panels. Confirm that the engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid are at the correct levels and that the filters have been replaced regularly. Finally, review any service records to ensure that routine maintenance—oil changes, filter replacements, and fluid top‑ups—has been performed consistently.
