2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · RK66 AET

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the October 2025 test at 198,382 miles, where the tester passed it with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, though the October 2025 record shows an anomalous failed test on the same date and mileage before the pass, with no defects listed on either entry. Prior tests in November 2023 at 184,525 miles and October 2024 at 193,514 miles also passed clean, indicating no recurring advisories or mechanical faults flagged by DVSA examiners over the two-year span. At roughly ten years old the Sprinter carries 198,382 miles, equating to about 19,838 miles per year and placing it firmly in high-use territory for its age. The odometer moved from 184,525 miles in late October 2023 to 193,514 miles by October 2024, then to 198,382 miles by October 2025, showing a slight slowdown in annual accumulation from roughly 9,000 to under 5,000 miles in the final year. The record is sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any test, which suggests either diligent presentation or light mechanical scrutiny at the testing stations. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and chassis corrosion given the high mileage and commercial-van duty cycle typical of this model. The same-day fail and pass in October 2025 with zero defects recorded warrants scrutiny of the failure reason, as DVLA systems sometimes log administrative or documentation rejects rather than mechanical faults. Check the front coil springs, rear suspension mounts, and binding calipers in person, since these wear items escape detection on a clean MOT until they reach failure thresholds. Previous owners kept the test history free of consumable-wear flags such as tyre tread or wiper blades, which implies basic upkeep was not neglected to the point of advisory entries. The absence of recorded faults across 14,000 miles of recent use supports a verdict of acceptable roadworthiness, subject to confirmation of the unexplained 2025 failure and a physical check of drivetrain condition at this mileage.
