2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · DG64 ETV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 24 August 2021 at 159,211 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This followed a failure just one day prior at 159,209 miles, which likely indicates a minor administrative error or a trivial defect that was rectified immediately before the successful test. Since that 2021 entry, there is no recorded MOT data for nearly five years, creating a significant gap in monitoring the current mechanical condition. The mileage pattern reflects consistent and high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,200 miles per annum. Between August 2018 and August 2019, the vehicle covered 20,285 miles, with a further 24,699 miles recorded between the 2019 and 2021 tests. This steady accumulation suggests the van was used for regular commercial or transit duties rather than sitting for long periods. The high total mileage of 159,211 miles on a twelve-year-old chassis places significant stress on the drivetrain and heavy-duty suspension components, which are prone to accelerated wear under these conditions. Because the vehicle has not been tested since 2021, a thorough physical inspection is mandatory to identify deferred maintenance or emerging faults. A buyer should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis, specifically looking for corrosion or stress fractures that are common in older Sprinter models. Given the high mileage, the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers must be assessed for excessive play or leaks. The braking system should also be checked for binding calipers or thin discs, as the historical record does not account for the state of these consumables over the last five years of operation.
