2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · FJ14 AEF

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter passed its most recent MOT on 13 May 2025 at 219,488 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no advisories or recurring faults. The vehicle cleared every test that it eventually presented for, showing no worsening mechanical pattern over the observed period. Recorded mileage stands at 219,488 against a 2014 build, averaging roughly 18,291 miles per year, which is high for the age and points to sustained commercial use. The gap between the February 2023 failure at 198,396 miles and the February 2024 pass at 211,163 miles shows about 12,700 miles covered in that year, consistent with the long-term rate. Two failed tests on 13 February 2023 and 12 February 2024 were both followed by immediate passes at identical mileages, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical defects, as the DVSA record lists no defects on either failure. The clean MOT trail gives no cause to suspect suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion from the official data alone. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of chassis rails, subframe mounts, and brake calipers given the mileage, as high-use vans of this age commonly develop hidden rust and worn drivetrain mounts not caught in a pass-with-no-defects test. Previous keepers appear to have maintained basic test compliance, with the twin 2023 and 2024 fail-pass pairs resolved on the same day and no outstanding advisories carried forward. The absence of any flagged consumable wear or emissions concerns implies the van was presented in testable condition, though the sparse defect history means independent verification of real-world wear remains prudent before purchase.
