2012 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER2.1L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests over the last four years. The most recent inspection on October 2025 at 126,102 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This immediate retest suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial component that was rectified instantly prior to the retest, as no specific mechanical faults were logged in the record to justify the failure. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 14-year-old van, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 102,467 miles and October 2025 at 126,102 miles, the vehicle covered 23,635 miles over three years. This steady accumulation indicates regular, light use rather than heavy commercial strain or long periods of stationary neglect. The intervals between tests are strictly annual, suggesting the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a roadworthy standard with a predictable usage schedule. While the MOT record is clean of advisories and recurring faults, a physical inspection must focus on common failure points for a Sprinter of this era. Given the age, the buyer should verify the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly around the rear sills and spring mounting points where corrosion often develops before becoming visible. The tester should also inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these components degrade over time regardless of low mileage.
