2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · BD67 DSE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent test on 3 December 2025 at 109,958 miles, where it passed with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears to be resolving, moving from a pattern of minor failures to clean passes. The failures recorded in December 2023 and November 2024 suggest intermittent issues that were successfully rectified, as evidenced by the subsequent passing certificates. The mileage accumulation is significant for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the December 2023 test at 86,622 miles and the December 2025 test at 109,958 miles, the van covered 23,336 miles. This averages to approximately 11,668 miles per year over that specific period, which is consistent with the overall lifetime average of 13,745 miles per year. This steady usage pattern suggests regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which typically results in more consistent wear across the drivetrain and chassis. While the recent history is clean, the previous failures indicate that the vehicle has required corrective work to meet MOT standards. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension components, specifically checking for worn bushes and coil springs, as well as examining the underside for signs of corrosion. Given the high annual mileage, the condition of the brake discs and calipers should be scrutinized for uneven wear or binding. The mechanical integrity of the diesel engine and turbocharger should also be verified through a service history check to ensure the high mileage has not led to deferred maintenance. Although the MOT record shows no current structural or emissions faults, the consistent mileage suggests that consumables like tyres, wiper blades, and brake pads will likely require frequent replacement. A professional inspection of the service intervals is recommended to confirm the vehicle has been maintained according to manufacturer specifications.
