2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · EF69 LHA

The 2025‑11‑18 MOT at 154,627 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming that the Sprinter remains roadworthy at the time of testing. All previous tests from December 2022 through November 2025 have also passed without recorded failures, indicating a stable maintenance record rather than a worsening or improving trend. The vehicle, a 2019 model, has accumulated 154,627 miles over seven years, averaging about 22,090 miles per annum, which is high for its age. Mileage leapt from 53,612 miles in December 2022 to 71,798 miles in December 2023 (+18,186), then to 97,660 miles in December 2024 (+25,862), and finally to 154,627 miles in November 2025 (+56,967), showing a marked acceleration in usage in the two most recent years. The 2023 test flagged slight play in the near‑side and off‑side front lower suspension arm ball joints and in the steering rack inner joint(s) under item 5.3.4 (a) (i), while no brake, exhaust or structural corrosion defects were noted. These recurring suspension and steering faults suggest that the front suspension bushes and steering components have experienced continued wear and should be examined for looseness, binding calipers, and worn brake discs during a physical inspection. A buyer should therefore prioritize checking the condition of the front suspension arm ball joints, steering rack joints, brake discs and calipers for binding, the integrity of the chassis and suspension bushes, and any signs of rust on structural members, as these items have been identified as recurring concerns despite the recent clean MOT.
