2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · YG65 AFJ

The 2023‑11‑17 MOT at 75,919 miles resulted in a pass, indicating the vehicle was roadworthy at that point, whereas the preceding 2023‑11‑16 test at the same mileage failed due to significantly worn front brake discs and a parking brake efficiency shortfall; this suggests that recent remedial work may have corrected the deficiencies and the overall maintenance trend has improved. At 11 years old, the van has accumulated 75,919 miles, averaging roughly 6,900 miles per year, which is typical for its age; mileage rose from 45,765 miles in the September 2018 test to 73,405 miles by the November 2020 test, an increase of about 27,640 miles over 2.5 years, after which the recorded mileage has remained stable between 73,405 and 75,919 miles across the 2020‑2023 examinations. A buyer should therefore inspect the brake discs for thickness, test the parking brake for hold under load, and examine the rear anti‑roll bar bush for excessive wear, as these items appear repeatedly in the record; visual checks of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake calipers for binding or corrosion, as well as verification of tyre tread depth, are also advisable. While no structural rust or major mechanical failures are documented, the pattern of recurring lamp and brake wear indicates that routine upkeep may have been uneven, so a thorough in‑person assessment should include a detailed look at suspension components, brake system integrity, and any signs of corrosion on the chassis or mounting points.
