2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · DA17 LLM

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter passed its most recent MOT on 20 May 2025 at 281,211 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the only failures occurring in 2023 and 2024 being administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults, as no defects were listed on either fail or pass certificates. Mileage stands at 281,211 over roughly nine years, an average of 31,246 miles per year and high for the age. The record shows 237,829 miles on 30 May 2023, rising to 258,598 by 14 May 2024 and 281,211 by May 2025, a consistent ~21,000 to 23,000 annual spread with no standing gaps. The sparse history shows clean passes aside from two back-to-back fail/pass pairs in May 2023 and May 2024, both with zero defects logged, suggesting the failures were likely documentation or identification errors rather than neglected wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the high annual mileage and commercial van usage. The MOT data flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches or structural integrity concerns across the timeline. Given the two same-day fail-then-pass sequences at 237,829 and 258,595 miles, verify the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA record to rule out clerical mismatch. No recurring mechanical advisories appear, but at 281,211 miles expect consumable items such as tyres and wiper blades to need imminent replacement regardless of the clean test sheet.
