2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KT68 AAX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 25 November 2025 at 174,531 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for an eight year old vehicle, averaging roughly 21,816 miles per year. A significant spike in usage occurred between 3 November 2023 at 125,497 miles and 6 November 2024 at 162,228 miles, where the vehicle covered nearly 37,000 miles in a single year. The mileage has since plateaued, with only 12,303 miles added between November 2024 and November 2025. Despite the lack of recorded defects, the high cumulative mileage suggests significant wear on heavy-duty components. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for fatigue. Given the high usage, checking for brake disc wear and ensuring there is no binding in the calipers is essential. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures in the record is positive. However, the high mileage warrants a thorough check of the drivetrain and engine mounts. Because the MOT history is unusually clean for a high-mileage commercial vehicle, verifying service records for oil changes and timing chain maintenance is necessary to confirm the mechanical health beyond the basic annual safety check.
