2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · AX65 CZD

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 December 2025 at 79,166 miles. However, the maintenance trend is worsening. While previous years showed a clean bill of health or minor consumable issues, the latest test flagged corrosion on both the offside and nearside rear brake pipes. The fact that these pipes were covered in grease or other material suggests an attempt to mask the rust or a makeshift effort to prevent further deterioration. The mileage is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 7,197 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, increasing from 37,767 miles in December 2018 to 79,166 miles by late 2025. There are no suspicious mileage gaps or sudden spikes in usage. The vehicle has spent significant periods with very few recorded defects, though it suffered a cluster of lighting failures in December 2020 at 60,672 miles. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the chassis and braking system. The December 2025 corrosion on the rear brake pipes is a serious concern that often indicates wider structural rust on the underside of the vehicle. You should check for similar corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points. The SRS warning lamp failure in December 2024 suggests an intermittent electrical or airbag system fault that requires verification to ensure the safety systems are fully operational. The history shows a pattern of neglecting basic consumables until they fail an MOT. The vehicle failed on a bulged tyre in January 2020 and had thin brake pads flagged in December 2021. Combined with the recent brake pipe corrosion, this suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to maintenance. Verify the current condition of the brake discs and the integrity of all fluid lines before purchase.
