MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER2012 · 2.1L Diesel

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass on 15 July 2025 at 113,770 miles. While the most recent test showed no defects, the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance where faults are addressed immediately following failures. The transition from failures in June 2023 and June 2024 to consecutive clean passes indicates that the previous owner addressed repairs only when legally necessitated, rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage profile is consistent with a light-use commercial or age vehicle, averaging approximately 8,126 miles per year. Between June 2023 and June 2024, the vehicle covered 2,289 miles, while the period between June 2024 and July 2025 saw an additional 1,496 miles. This low annual accumulation suggests the vehicle may have sat for extended periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized brake calipers, and fluid contamination despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the Sprinter of this era is prone to corrosion in the chassis sills and wheel arches. Given the failures recorded in 2023 and 2024 which required immediate repairs, it is vital to check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue. Examining the brake system for binding or thin discs is also necessary to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in surface rust or seized pistons despite the lack of recorded defects in the latest test.
