2011 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · FN11 SMV

The most recent MOT on 26 July 2022 at 263,458 miles shows a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle held a roadworthy status at that time. Relative to today's date of 8 July 2026, the test is nearly four years out of date, so the current condition is unverified. The maintenance trend across the supplied records reads as stable, with no advisories or worsening faults logged across the two-year span covered. The recorded mileage rose from 229,476 on 28 June 2021 to 263,458 by 26 July 2022, a gain of roughly 33,982 miles in just over twelve months against a lifetime average near 17,564 miles per year. That spike points to heavy commercial use in the final recorded period. The history then stops, leaving a four-year gap with no further tests logged and no clue whether the van was retired, exported, or simply left untaxed. Both failures on 28 June 2021 and 13 July 2022 were logged at identical mileages to their subsequent passes with no defects cited, a pattern that suggests administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical rejection. No corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions problems appear anywhere in the chain. Still, at 263,458 miles a buyer must treat the Sprinter as a high-wear light commercial vehicle. A physical inspection should prioritise front suspension arms and coil springs, rear brake calipers for binding, and chassis rails for structural rust given the age and mileage. Verify the odometer against service stamps, since the 2022 retest came only thirteen days and five miles after the failure. Confirm the vehicle has not been off-road for years, as standing periods invite seized components and perished rubber.
