2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Progressive CDI 1.9L Diesel · FJ72 VYC

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Progressive CDI presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 105,648 miles on 17 October 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable with no defects logged at the latest test. The preceding failure on 14 October 2025 at 105,612 miles is anomalous, as the DVSA record shows no defects cited; this suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, with the vehicle cleared six days later on a clean sheet. At roughly four years old the van has covered 105,648 miles, equating to about 26,400 miles per year. That is high annual use for a 2022 light commercial and points to sustained motorway or delivery cycle work rather than intermittent standing. The gap between the two October 2025 tests spans only 36 miles, so no meaningful accumulation occurred in that window. The supplied history is sparse, showing just the two 2025 entries, which limits any judgement on longer-term wear patterns. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage and duty cycle. High annual coverage accelerates consumable and drivetrain wear even where MOT advisories are absent. The clean October 2025 pass offers no flag for corrosion or exhaust emissions, but the earlier non-defect failure warrants confirmation of the test centre's rationale. Verify service records against the 105,648-mile figure and check for uneven tyre wear or binding calipers not captured by the MOT. The lack of recurring faults is reassuring, yet the sparse trail means pre-purchase scrutiny of structural integrity underneath remains prudent.
