2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · BX64 BOV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in March 2026 at 69,684 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the immediate failure just ten days prior at 69,681 miles highlighted neglected aged tyres and worn front brake discs. This suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues when they reach a legal failure threshold rather than performing scheduled preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old Sprinter, averaging approximately 5,800 miles per year. The data reveals significant gaps in usage, such as the period of only 211 miles covered between July 2025 and March 2026. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain, it often leads to the premature degradation of rubber-based components. The July 2025 advisory regarding a tyre perishing and cracking due to age is a classic symptom of a vehicle sitting for long periods, which causes dry rot despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must focus specifically on the front braking system, as the record shows consistently pitted and scored discs across 2024, 2025, and 2026. The repeated mentions of these components suggest the calipers may be sticking or the discs are being replaced unevenly. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a physical inspection should also check for structural corrosion on the chassis and suspension bushes, as these parts are prone to seizing and cracking when a vehicle is not driven regularly.
