2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Progressive CDI 1.9L Diesel · KR21 AFJ

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Progressive CDI holds a valid MOT pass dated 14 May 2025 at 67,955 miles, following a same-day failure entry that recorded no defects. The maintenance trend across the available 2024 and 2025 tests is stable, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. This indicates previous owners met statutory requirements without neglected wear, though the unexplained fail-pass on identical mileage warrants scrutiny. Mileage advanced from 53,286 at the 20 May 2024 test to 67,955 by 14 May 2025, a gain of 14,669 miles in under twelve months. That pace exceeds typical private use but suits a light commercial van, matching the estimated 13,600 miles per year for its age. The record is sparse, containing only the statutory third and fourth-year tests, yet shows no gaps or sudden accumulation beyond the expected high-use pattern. With no recorded defects, the buyer faces no flagged structural or mechanical risks in the official history. Prudence dictates a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the 68,000-mile load. Underside corrosion and exhaust emissions should be assessed, as clean MOTs at high mileage can overlook incipient wear on chassis members. The anomalous failure on 14 May 2025 with no defects suggests either a documentation error or a non-itemised rejection such as plate lighting. Verify the DVSA failure reason before purchase. Overall, the van presents as roadworthy per its latest test, but in-person checks of consumables remain essential given the mileage.
