2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · AG05 WAX

The 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 7 November 2025 at 261,721 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests in November 2024 at 255,016 miles and November 2023 at 243,262 miles also passed clean. The maintenance record shows no recurring advisories or escalating faults across the observed period. The van has covered 261,721 miles in roughly sixteen years, averaging about 16,358 miles per year. This is high mileage for the age and points to sustained commercial use. The record shows a clean pass on 6 July 2022 at 237,152 miles, followed by a failed entry on the same date at identical mileage with no defects listed, then a clean pass the same day. A gap then appears before the November 2023 test, where the van had added only 6,110 miles in sixteen months. That slower period suggests reduced activity or part-time use before returning to higher annual accumulation. No advisories for suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear in the supplied history. The absence of flagged structural integrity issues is favourable, though a clean MOT does not confirm component condition beneath test thresholds. At this mileage the drivetrain and turbo diesel components will have absorbed heavy cyclic load. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for underbody rust, worn suspension arms, and brake caliper binding not caught in the test bay. Check the timing chain, clutch or gearbox wear, and verify service records beyond DVSA data. The same-day fail with no defects recorded in July 2022 warrants confirmation that the entry was administrative rather than a concealed mechanical rejection.
