2009 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.2L Diesel · EA59 KTJ

The 2009 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has a recent MOT history showing a failed test on 2024-06-06 at 235,283 miles, followed by a passing result the next day at 235,289 miles. No defects were recorded in either case, which is unusual for a failed MOT. This suggests the failure may have been due to a procedural issue or a non-critical technicality, but the lack of recorded defects limits the insight into specific mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s MOT history prior to 2024 shows consistent passes with no defects, including a 2023-06-23 test at 231,193 miles and a 2022-06-24 test at 226,215 miles. These results indicate a stable condition over several years, with no evidence of recurring faults. However, the 2024 failure—despite no defects—introduces uncertainty about the vehicle’s reliability. The recorded mileage of 235,289 miles at 17 years old equates to roughly 13,841 miles per year, which is high for its age. This suggests frequent use, which could accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and the drivetrain. However, the absence of defects in most MOTs implies that maintenance may have kept the vehicle in acceptable condition. The trend in MOT results appears stable, with no escalation in issues over time.
