2002 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.2L Diesel · DA52 CBO

The 2002 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its two most recent MOT tests. The February 2024 examination at 140,280 miles returned a clean pass, matching the fault-free result from February 2023 at 138,083 miles. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring advisory pattern, indicating the vehicle cleared both assessments without mechanical or structural concerns raised by the tester. Recorded mileage sits at 140,280 against a 24-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,845 miles per year. This is low for a commercial Sprinter and suggests either light duty or extended periods off the road. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows only 2,197 miles added in twelve months. The supplied history covers just two consecutive annual tests with no failures, advisories, or gaps in certification, so the dataset is sparse but clean. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of corrosion-prone structural points, given the vehicle's age and the limited test sample. Standing time implied by low annual mileage can accelerate underbody rust and permit seized suspension bushes or binding brakes through lack of use. The MOT record flags none of these, but two passes do not constitute a full mechanical audit. Check the condition of brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions hardware during viewing. Verify the stated 140,280 mileage against service stamps, as the low figure warrants confirmation the van was not idle long enough to degrade flexible components like tyres and wiper blades through weathering rather than wear.
