2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · FM13 EBA

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter passed its most recent MOT on 7 July 2025 at 240,852 miles with no defects recorded, indicating current roadworthiness is acceptable. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, with every pass and fail showing no advisories or faults logged by the tester. Annual mileage sits at roughly 18,500 miles, well above typical light-commercial averages for a 13-year-old van. The record shows 165,939 miles on 12 July 2023, rising to 191,446 by 10 July 2024 and 240,852 by 7 July 2025. That is about 49,000 miles added in the final year, a sharp jump from the prior 25,500. Such high and accelerating use points to sustained motorway or delivery work rather than neglect through standing. The July 2023 and July 2025 tests each returned a fail on the same date as a later pass, yet DVSA logs list no defects for either failure. This suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. With no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion across five entries, the history gives no evidence of worsening structural or mechanical risk. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the chassis for rust, check the rear brake calipers for binding after the high-mileage year, and verify tyre tread depth and exhaust emissions given the van's workload. The clean MOT paper trail does not remove the need for hands-on checks on a 240,000-mile drivetrain.
