2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · DA11 SFY

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 27 June 2025 at 42,681 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following four consecutive annual passes. The maintenance history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the five-year record, indicating consistent statutory compliance by previous keepers. Recorded mileage sits at 42,681 miles against a 15-year lifespan, an average of roughly 2,845 miles per year. The van accumulated only 3,760 miles between the June 2023 test at 35,151 miles and the June 2025 test at 42,681 miles. Low annual use of this nature typically reflects light commercial duty or extended standing periods rather than fleet abuse. The clean record with no corrosion or suspension flags suggests the body and chassis have avoided the structural degradation common on higher-mileage Sprinters. A failed test on 26 June 2024 at 38,921 miles with no defects listed points to an administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical defect, with the vehicle passing later that same day at 38,924 miles. Such a pattern implies the keeper resolved a non-mechanical discrepancy promptly. No consumable wear items such as tyres, brake discs, or wiper blades were flagged at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the vehicle's age and low-use profile, as standing time accelerates rubber perishing and seizes handbrake mechanisms. Verify underside structural integrity for hidden corrosion not captured in the test bay. The sparse, clean MOT data offers no evidence of deferred upkeep, but low mileage alone does not certify drivetrain health without a workshop assessment.
