2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · YK16 AAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 May 2026 at 132,097 miles with a clean sheet and no defects. The maintenance trend shows a marked improvement over the last two years. Earlier tests indicate a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care, with the vehicle failing multiple tests due to basic wear and tear items that should have been addressed before the inspection. The mileage is high for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,210 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady and rapid, with the odometer climbing from 113,213 miles in March 2024 to 132,097 miles by May 2026. This high-usage profile increases the likelihood of fatigue in the drivetrain and suspension components, which aligns with the faults recorded during the middle of this period. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension and braking system. The March 2025 test at 123,876 miles flagged a worn bush on the offside front upper shock absorber and dangerously thin rear brake pads under 1.5mm. While the most recent pass suggests these were resolved, the recurrence of suspension and tyre issues suggests a history of pushing consumables to their absolute limit. The windscreen and mirrors also show a history of damage. The vehicle failed in March 2024 and March 2025 for windscreen chips and cracks that eventually impaired the driver's view. Given the pattern of failing on tyre tread and cuts in March 2024, a thorough check of the current tyre depths and sidewall integrity is necessary to ensure the previous owner's habit of neglecting consumables has not resumed.
