2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · EA59 MWE

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT test on 20 March 2026 at 153,832 miles with no defects recorded. This maintenance trend shows an improvement compared to previous years where the vehicle failed to meet standards on two consecutive occasions. The clean sheet from the latest inspection indicates that whatever issues previously hindered a pass were addressed, and the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum requirements for road use. At 153,832 miles over 16 years, the Sprinter has averaged approximately 9,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent mileage accumulation, with 16,660 miles covered between February 2024 and March 2025, and another 16,542 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This regular usage suggests the vehicle is operated regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing component corrosion. While the most recent test was clean, the failures in 2024 and 2025 indicate that the vehicle is prone to specific faults that require periodic intervention. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis for structural integrity and surface rust, as these are common points of failure on Sprinters of this era. Given the age and mileage, the state of the suspension bushes, control arms, and coil springs is critical to check for excessive wear or play. The buyer should also inspect the brake system for binding calipers or thin disc surfaces to ensure the recent pass reflects well-maintained components rather than a temporary fix.
