2001 MERCEDES SPRINTER2.2L DIESEL

The MOT history for this 2001 Mercedes Sprinter reveals a pattern of consistent wear consistent with its age and mileage. In the final recorded test in June 2015 at 190,856 miles, the vehicle passed despite several advisories regarding slight corrosion on the rear body and play in both nearside and offside front anti-roll bars. The tester also noted thin rear brake pads and limited travel on the parking brake lever, suggesting that consumable components were reaching their service limits. Given that no tests have been recorded for over a decade, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified through official data. The recorded mileage of 190,856 miles over 25 years reflects an average usage of approximately 7,600 miles per year, which is relatively low for a commercial vehicle of this era. However, the data shows a significant gap in testing history after 2015. The vehicle previously failed a test in October 2013 at 167,440 miles due to a failing parking brake, wiper, and tyre issues, which were addressed to secure the subsequent passes in 2014 and 2015. The recurring mentions of corrosion on the rear body and anti-roll bar bushes indicate that structural and suspension components are areas of concern. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for further degradation, as the last reported instances of rust may have progressed over nine years. Without a recent MOT record, the state of the braking system, exhaust emissions, and structural integrity remains unknown, presenting a significant risk for any potential purchase.
