2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · LX64 ARZ

This Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has demonstrated consistent MOT compliance over the past five tests, with the most recent inspection on 19 February 2026 confirming no defects at 119,962 miles . The absence of advisories or failures across all tests—including the current pass—suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a level sufficient to meet DVSA’s current standards. However, the 15-month gap between the February 2026 and March 2025 tests is unusually long for a vehicle of this age and mileage, particularly given the typical 12-month MOT cycle. While no red flags emerged in testing, this extended period without a formal inspection introduces an element of uncertainty regarding undocumented wear or deferred maintenance. The mileage progression indicates steady usage, averaging 9,997 miles per year over the past decade, which aligns with typical commercial or mixed-use patterns for this model. There are no abrupt jumps or prolonged inactivity periods—mileage increased by 4,000 miles annually between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and similarly between 2023 and 2024, before slowing slightly to 3,000 miles in the final year. This consistency suggests the vehicle has been in regular operation without prolonged neglect. However, the lack of intermediate servicing records means critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers could have accumulated hidden wear beyond what MOT testing reveals. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension integrity , particularly the rear axle and bushings, as these are common failure points in Sprinters at this mileage. The exhaust system warrants close examination for corrosion or leaks, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to salted roads or coastal environments. While the MOT record shows no brake-related failures, rear binding or uneven wear on discs could indicate past neglect, so caliper function and pad thickness should be verified. Finally, the structural underbody —including sills, wheel arches, and subframe mounts—should be checked for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust progression over time. The absence of advisories does not preclude these issues; they may only become apparent through a detailed mechanical examination.
