2009 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · DA09 RTO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 16 December 2025 at 179,544 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories. This streak of clean passes suggests the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, preventing the mechanical or structural failures typically seen in older commercial vans. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,500 miles per annum. Between the December 2021 test at 164,332 miles and the December 2025 test at 179,544 miles, the vehicle covered 15,212 miles. This steady usage indicates regular operation rather than long periods of standing, which often helps to keep seals and brake components from seizing or corro in Sprinter models. Despite the clean MOT history, the age and mileage mean a buyer must still perform a physical inspection of high-wear components prone to failure on this platform. Focus should be placed on the chassis rails and structural members for deep corrosion, as the MOT test does not check for surface rust until it compromises integrity. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of perished rubber, as these often degrade before triggering a test failure. Checking the brake lines for leaks and calipers for uneven wear is also advisable given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent history.
