2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · AX65 CYP

The 2026-04-23 MOT at 117,389 miles passed, but the tester flagged reduced damping on both front shock absorbers, slight play in the near‑side front wheel bearing, and a loose front flexi exhaust silencer, indicating that the vehicle remains roadworthy yet suspension and exhaust components are deteriorating. The mileage record shows a steady increase from 22,843 miles in May 2019 to 117,389 miles by April 2026, averaging about 10,672 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a 2015 Sprinter; the two‑year gap between the 2025-02-21 test (112,657 miles) and the 2026-04-23 test (117,389 miles) represents only 4,732 miles, suggesting the vehicle has been relatively idle in the past year, and the jump from 96,217 miles in February 2024 to 112,657 miles in February 2025 reflects a rapid accumulation of roughly 16,440 miles in one year, indicating intensified use or long‑term storage followed by heavy mileage. A buyer should focus on the front suspension system, checking the condition of the shock absorbers, suspension arm ball joints, and wheel bearings for play or wear, and inspect the exhaust silencer for looseness or corrosion; the repeated brake pad wear notices and the presence of worn brake discs across multiple tests demand a close examination of braking components, and the recurring defects on the rear reflectors and the history of tyre cuts and bulges point to a need for a thorough tyre tread and sidewall inspection and verification of structural integrity around the wheel arches.
