2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · WS12 AJS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 February 2026 at 255,056 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. Specifically, the February 2026 failure occurred just three days after the previous test with only 9 miles added, suggesting a minor administrative error or a simple light-item failure, such as a wilted bulb or a minor leak, that the owner rectified immediately prior to the re-test. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 255,056 miles represents a high annual average of approximately 20,000 miles. Between February 2024 and January 2025, the vehicle covered 7,871 miles, while it covered 6,427 miles in the twelve months leading up to the February 2026 test. This indicates a slight decrease in recent usage compared to the historical average, but the overall mileage places significant strain on the drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking system typical of a heavy-duty Sprinter. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody components due to the high-mileage profile. While the MOT history lacks specific advisories, vehicles of this age and mileage often suffer from corrosion on the frame members and wear on the coil springs. Inspect the shock absorbers for signs of leaking and check the brake discs for excessive thinning, as high mileage accelerates wear on these consumables. Given the mileage, verifying the condition of the turbocharger and the integrity of the fuel injectors is essential to ensure the engine is not nearing a terminal failure point.
