2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · LX11 AFU

The 2024‑11‑11 MOT at 236,000 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. The mileage has risen steadily from 97,490 miles in May 2015 to 236,000 miles in November 2024, an average of 15,733 miles per year, with no significant gaps in the annual testing schedule; each successive test shows incremental increases such as 209,109 miles in 2021, 214,504 miles in 2022, 226,184 miles in 2023, and the latest 236,000 miles in 2024. Recurring oil leaks noted in the 2021 and 2020 tests (8.4.1 (a) (i)) suggest a persistent but non‑critical source that should be traced, while the 2014‑2015 failures of the near‑side rear upper Panhard rod locating pin and the off‑side inner rear tyre fitting point to potential suspension and steering wear that merit close inspection. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and Panhard rod for looseness or binding, verify brake disc and pad condition for any binding calipers, locate the origin of the oil leak, assess tyre tread and side‑wall integrity, and inspect the chassis and wheel arches for structural rust or corrosion.
