2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · AY13 OPB

The 2013 Mercedes‑Benz Sprinter currently passes the MOT. The latest test on 15 May 2025 at 246,852 miles returned no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. Earlier tests in May 2024 and May 2023 failed, but no defects were recorded, suggesting any issues were resolved before the subsequent pass. The vehicle has accumulated 246,852 miles over approximately 12 years, averaging roughly 20,000 miles per annum. Between 12 May 2023 and 10 May 2024 the mileage rose by 15,439 miles, a high but plausible figure for a commercial vehicle. From 10 May 2024 to 15 May 2025 the mileage increased by 6,138 miles, reflecting a lower annual utilisation. The record shows no large gaps, so the mileage progression appears continuous. A prospective buyer should examine the braking system, including discs, calipers and brake fluid, as the vehicle has a history of failed MOTs that could be linked to braking. Suspension components, such as shock absorbers and bushings, should be inspected for wear or leaks. Tyres and wiper blades are consumables that may have been neglected, given the high mileage. Inspect the chassis for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and undercarriage, and verify that the exhaust system is intact and free of leaks. Finally, check the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks or overheating, as these could affect long‑term reliability.
