2014 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER2.1L Diesel

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-26 at 128,305 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, the preceding 2024-08-22 test at 122,421 miles also passed, while the 2024-08-21 test at the same mileage failed despite no defects being recorded. This inconsistency suggests potential procedural issues or minor non-compliances that were resolved. The 2023-08-30 and 2023-08-29 tests similarly showed a pass and fail at nearly identical mileages, reinforcing a pattern of intermittent non-approval without recorded faults. While the latest test confirms compliance, the repeated fails without defect details warrant scrutiny of prior maintenance practices. The vehicle’s mileage of 128,305 miles over 12 years equates to an average of 10,692 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. MOT records show consistent testing intervals of roughly 12 months, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes. The 2023-08-30 test at 116,649 miles and subsequent 2024-08-22 test at 122,421 miles reflect a steady 5,772-mile annual increase, suggesting regular use rather than prolonged inactivity. This pattern implies the vehicle has been driven consistently, though the absence of detailed defect reports limits insight into component wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system, as repeated MOT fails without recorded faults may indicate unresolved issues with brake discs, calipers, or pedal response. Suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, should also be checked for wear, given the vehicle’s age. While no structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures are noted, the lack of defect data in prior tests means hidden issues could persist. A thorough pre-purchase inspection is advised to confirm the absence of undetected mechanical or safety risks.
