2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · YK16 AAV

This Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 5 January 2026 at 183,377 miles passed with no defects recorded. This clean result follows a consistent pattern of passes over the last four years, suggesting the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards. The vehicle has covered 183,377 miles over ten years, averaging roughly 18,338 miles annually. This is high usage for its age, though the mileage accumulation is steady. Between 24 August 2022 and 1 November 2023, the odometer rose by 15,824 miles. A more rapid increase occurred between November 2023 and November 2024, where the vehicle covered 19,124 miles. The short interval between the failure on 6 November 2024 and the pass on 28 November 2024 indicates a prompt rectification of the issues that caused the initial failure. Despite the clean MOT records, the high mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of high-wear components. A buyer should specifically check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as these typically degrade under the stress of nearly 200,000 miles. The absence of recorded advisories is unusual for a commercial vehicle of this age and mileage, so a manual check for structural corrosion on the chassis and sills is essential. Inspect the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or thinning, and check for any signs of binding calipers. Given the heavy use, the drivetrain and clutch should be tested for slip or excessive play. While the DVSA records show no recurring faults, the sheer volume of miles means consumables are likely nearing the end of their service life.
