2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · FJ10 ABF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 March 2023 at 114,648 miles with no recorded defects. The record shows an improving trend after a series of failures in early 2022 and February 2023, where numerous lighting, suspension and brake advisories were flagged and subsequently rectified for the March test. Mileage has risen from 34,141 miles in March 2013 to 114,648 miles in March 2023, averaging roughly 10 000 miles per year – a pattern consistent with typical commercial‑van use. No significant mileage gaps appear; each annual test aligns closely with the recorded odometer, indicating regular usage rather than prolonged storage. The incremental rise suggests wear on consumables but does not reveal any abrupt spikes that would accelerate component fatigue. A prospective buyer should verify that the previously worn front suspension arm ball joints and track‑rod ends have been replaced or are now within specification, as excessive wear was noted on 7 February 2023 and slight play appeared in 2022. The rear suspension mounting area exhibited severe corrosion at the same test, so visual inspection for rust and structural integrity is essential. Brake performance warrants attention: binding rear service brakes and sub‑minimum parking‑brake efficiency were recorded in February 2023, so a functional brake check is advisable. The windscreen wipers failed on both sides in 2022 and 2023; confirming effective clearing and blade condition is prudent. Multiple lighting faults—including fog, outline and position lamps—were repeatedly flagged, so confirming all external lamps operate correctly will avoid a repeat failure. Finally, confirm that front tyre tread now exceeds the 1.6 mm legal minimum, as it fell below this threshold in February 2023.
