2007 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.2L Diesel · YL07 AKU

The 2007 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 April 2025 at 159,624 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable and resolving, given that the vehicle cleared its final two annual tests without advisories after a difficult early-2024 period. The absence of any recorded defects across the latest pass confirms no outstanding mechanical concerns were flagged by the tester at that time. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 19-year-old van, averaging roughly 8,400 miles per year against the recorded 159,624 miles. The records show a striking plateau between 26 May 2023 and 28 March 2024, where the odometer moved only from 152,508 to 152,601 miles across four tests. Such a tight cluster of readings, including three tests within March 2024 alone, suggests the vehicle saw minimal use or was presented repeatedly for certification rather than covering normal annual distance. The early-2024 history demands scrutiny despite the clean recent pass. The tester failed the Sprinter on 5 March 2024 at 152,559 miles and again on 27 March 2024 at 152,595 miles, with no specific defects listed on the record. A van failing twice in one month without documented faults points to administrative or unrecorded presentation issues rather than obvious wear, but a buyer should still verify structural integrity, suspension bushes, brake discs, and exhaust emissions in person. Given the age and light use window, check for corrosion on chassis members and binding calipers that standing time can conceal. No recurring mechanical advisories appear across the five-year MOT span, and the final two passes carry zero defects. The previous owner clearly brought the vehicle to a compliant state by April 2025. A pre-purchase inspection should nonetheless confirm the lack of hidden rust and confirm tyre condition, as the sparse record offers little insight into consumable replacement discipline.
