MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER2017 · 2.1L DIESEL

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-12 showed no defects at 139,690 miles, which is a positive sign. However, this was a relatively short period after the 2024-09-03 test, which recorded multiple minor issues. The 2024 MOT highlighted direction indicator faults (flashing faster than 120 times per minute) and a rear fog lamp interference, both related to electrical systems. These were likely addressed before the 2025 test, as no defects were found. A recurring pattern of tyre-related issues appears in the history. The 2023-08-31 MOT noted a nearside rear nail and tyres worn close to legal limits, suggesting poor maintenance or excessive wear. While no tyre defects were recorded in later tests, the high mileage (15,521 miles per year) increases the risk of accelerated tyre degradation, which could affect safety and handling. The trend in defects is mixed. Early tests (2021-2022) showed no issues, but 2023 and 2024 had specific faults. The 2025 test’s pass suggests repairs were made, but the presence of multiple issues in a short timeframe (2023–2024) indicates potential underlying problems, such as electrical system wear or inconsistent maintenance.
