2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · DA67 MXG

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-13 at 135,440 miles showed a pass with no defects recorded, but the preceding test on 2026-02-12 at 135,438 miles resulted in a fail despite no defects noted. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unresolved issues not captured in the record. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 showed stable performance, with passes at 127,405 and 114,733 miles respectively, also without defects. The maintenance trend appears stable overall, though the recent failed test without explanation raises questions about the vehicle’s reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 135,440 miles at 9 years old equates to approximately 15,049 miles annually, significantly higher than average for its age. This rapid accumulation could accelerate wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though no such issues were flagged in the MOT history. Notable gaps exist between the 2023 test (114,733 miles) and the2024 test (127,405 miles), spanning 12,672 miles, which may indicate periods of reduced usage or incomplete records. The absence of defects in most tests suggests routine maintenance was prioritized, but the high mileage remains a risk factor for mechanical fatigue. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the high mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for wear or binding, as these are common failure points under heavy use. Structural integrity should also be verified, focusing on the chassis and body for corrosion, especially in areas prone to rust. The lack of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, as some issues may not be detected during MOT tests. Professional evaluation of these systems is essential to confirm the vehicle’s continued roadworthiness.
