2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · AV65 LHT

The most recent MOT on 22 December 2022 recorded a pass at 262,740 miles with no defects noted, confirming that the vehicle met the statutory requirements at that date. The identical outcome of the two 8 December 2021 tests, also passed with no advisories, indicates a stable maintenance record over the last two years. A 2015 Sprinter now showing 262,740 miles equates to roughly 23,900 miles per annum, which is considerably above average for a vehicle of this age. Between the 8 December 2021 test at 200,215 miles and the 22 December 2022 test the mileage rose by 62,525 miles, suggesting a period of intensive use. The earlier 8 December 2021 entry at 174,614 miles appears to be a duplicate record rather than an additional test, leaving three MOT entries in total, all clean. Given the high mileage, a buyer should give particular attention to wear items that are not captured by MOT advisories. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, verify that brake discs and pads are within thickness limits and free from scoring, and assess tyre tread depth and uniformity. A visual check of the under‑body for corrosion, the exhaust system for cracks or excessive rust, and the condition of the steering rack and tie‑rod ends will help confirm that the high‑use history has not compromised structural integrity. Reviewing any available service logs for timing‑chain or oil‑filter changes will further clarify the vehicle’s long‑term reliability.
