2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KR67 ACZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record shows a significant gap in recent testing. The most recent MOT conducted on 30 July 2022 at 176,833 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects following an initial failure on the same day. Given that today is July 2026, the vehicle has not undergone an official inspection in nearly four years. This lack of recent data means the current mechanical state and structural integrity are unknown and represent a substantial risk to any potential buyer. The mileage profile indicates heavy commercial use for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,000 miles annually. Between August 2020 and August 2021, the vehicle covered 36,315 miles in a single year, suggesting a period of intense operation. The usage continued at high levels between the 2021 and 2022 tests, during which the vehicle clocked an additional 54,761 miles. This high-mileage environment typically places considerable stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking systems, accelerating the natural wear of consumable parts like bushes and dampers. A physical inspection must focus on the heavy-duty components most likely to fail after such extensive mileage. The buyer should examine the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the mounting points, as Sprinter vans are prone to rust in these areas. Given the four-year testing gap, a thorough check of the suspension for play in control arms and a search for signs of fluid leakage from the engine or gearbox are essential. Because no advisories were recorded in 2022, the current condition of the brake discs, calipers, and tyres must be verified to ensure they have not deteriorated significantly since the last test.
