2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · DG18 AAV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on March 27, 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history shows a recurring pattern of immediate re-testing followed by a successful pass. In both 2025 and 2026, the vehicle failed the initial test but rectified within a few days, suggesting that the owner addresses immediate defects only when prompted by an official failure rather than through a preventative maintenance schedule. The mileage accumulation is significant for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the van covered 7,376 miles, while the period between April 2025 and March 2026 saw over 8,000 miles. This indicates consistent commercial-grade usage, which places high stress on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking systems. Given the high mileage and the history of test failures, a buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension, specifically checking for worn bushes and leaking shock visitors, which are common on Sprinter models at this age. Although no specific adviseories were recorded in the provided data, the high-frequency use necessitates a check of the brake disc thickness and tyre integrity. Additionally, inspecting the chassis for structural corrosion or underbody is essential to ensure that the high mileage has not led to accelerated metal fatigue on the frame.
