2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 314 Progressive CDI 2.1L Diesel · KR21 ADX

The vehicle presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 6 May 2025 at 52,701 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the Sprinter cleared its 17 May 2024 test at 45,558 miles cleanly, following an anomalous failure on 15 May 2024 at identical mileage where the tester logged no defects. This pattern shows no worsening mechanical condition and suggests any issue triggering the brief failure was administrative rather than structural. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 2021 panel van. The odometer moved from 45,558 miles on 17 May 2024 to 52,701 miles by 6 May 2025, a modest 7,143-mile interval over eleven months. Over the vehicle's five-year life to July 2026, the average of roughly 10,500 miles per year sits within expected bounds. The record is sparse, offering only the mandatory three-year and four-year tests, yet both clean passes indicate no rapid accumulation or neglected lay-up periods. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core structural and mechanical items despite the absent advisories. A technician must examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for hidden wear, as the short test intervals limit long-term trend visibility. Inspect chassis members and body mounts for corrosion, and verify exhaust emissions under load. The earlier null-defect failure demands that the retest did not mask binding calipers or intermittent electrical faults. Previous keepers maintained statutory compliance, though the unexplained fail hints at casual test preparation. Given the van's age and light recorded faults, the buyer should prioritise drivetrain condition and tyre tread depth. A pre-purchase appraisal by a marque specialist will finalise the mechanical verdict.
