2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · EO67 ONJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the history indicates a shift from perfectly clean records to reactive maintenance. The most recent MOT recorded in November 2022 at 62,078 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure. While the owner addressed the immediate lighting and tyre defects, the presence of slight play in both front lower suspension arm ball joints suggests that components are beginning to reach the end of their service life despite the vehicle's low mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with light use for a nine-year-old van, averaging approximately 6,900 miles annually. Between November 2020 at 36,803 miles and November 2021 at 51,692 miles, the vehicle covered over 14,000 miles in a single year, indicating a period of higher intensity. However, the usage slowed significantly leading into the 2022 test, with only 10,386 miles recorded in that interval. This lower annual mileage can sometimes lead to rubber components hardening or seizing components if not driven regularly. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension to determine if the ball joint play identified in 2022 has worsened or been replaced. These components are critical for steering precision and can cause rapid, uneven tyre wear if neglected. Given the previous failure for a deep sidewall cut and a defective side repeater, a thorough check of all exterior lighting assemblies and the integrity of the tyre rubber is necessary. Since no MOT data is available since November 2022, the vehicle is currently over three years out of its test date, making a fresh mechanical inspection of the brakes and chassis corrosion mandatory before any purchase.
