2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 313 CDI Diesel · KP61 AET

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 May 2025 at 301,100 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a period of instability in early 2025. The vehicle failed two tests on 14 April and 6 May 2025 before finally passing four days after the second failure. The lack of recorded defects for these failures is unusual and suggests either administrative errors in the DVSA upload or minor faults that were rectified immediately. The mileage is exceptionally high for a 15 year old vehicle, averaging over 20,000 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between April 2023 and April 2024, where the odometer rose from 262,056 to 281,477 miles. A further 19,623 miles were added in the year following, reaching 301,100 miles by May 2025. This level of sustained heavy use typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and chassis integrity. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and load area for corrosion, as high-mileage Sprinters are prone to structural rust. Given the 301,100 mile odometer reading, the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers should be checked for fatigue. The absence of recorded advisories is atypical for a vehicle of this age and mileage, which suggests the record may not capture the full extent of the vehicle's wear. Priority should be given to inspecting the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding. The drivetrain, specifically the clutch and gearbox synchronisation, requires a manual check to ensure the high mileage has not led to premature mechanical failure. Check the exhaust system for leaks and verify that the engine is not emitting excessive smoke, as high-mileage diesel units often show signs of turbocharger or injector wear.
