2014 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER2.1L Diesel

The 2026‑05‑07 MOT at 235,463 miles resulted in a pass, but the maintenance trend is clearly worsening, as repeated brake, suspension and structural defects persist across successive tests. The most recent test flagged worn rear brake discs, thin offside rear pads, corroded front brake pipes, a welded front sub‑frame and an oil leak, indicating ongoing mechanical concerns. Mileage has climbed from 89,976 miles in the 2017 test to 235,463 miles by May 2026, averaging roughly 15,000 miles per year after 2022, with notable gaps in the record between 2018 and 2023 and a sharp jump from 219,294 miles in April 2025 to 230,367 miles in May 2025, then to 235,463 miles in May 2026. A buyer should inspect the front and rear suspension components for worn ball joints, excessive play in the bushes and failed shock absorbers, verify the structural integrity of the welded sub‑frame, examine brake discs for pitting and measure pad thickness to confirm missing pads, assess the condition of corroded brake pipes and ABS pump lines, and check tyre wear for edge perishing and the health of exhaust mounts and rear reflectors.
