2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · FP10 YNM

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter passed its most recent MOT on 5 June 2025 at 472,275 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a valid roadworthiness certificate and a stable test trend. Across the last three annual cycles the van cleared every pass with a clean sheet, showing no escalating mechanical faults or recurring advisory pattern in the official data. The recorded mileage sits at 472,275 against a 2010 build, an average of roughly 29,500 miles per year and a heavy commercial workload for its age. A clear gap appears between the 18 January 2022 test at 461,968 miles and the 5 June 2024 failure at 472,038 miles, with around 10,000 miles added over twenty-nine months of lapsed testing. From June 2024 to June 2025 the van covered only 235 miles, implying it has since been parked or used minimally. The 2024 and 2025 failures at 472,038 and 472,250 miles list no defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than a mechanical breakdown. Still, the high cumulative mileage means suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and steering joints will have absorbed severe cyclic load. A buyer should physically inspect for corrosion on chassis members and subframes, check the driveshaft gaiters and confirm the rear brake calipers are not seizing. Given the sparse but clean record, the previous keeper appears to have maintained basic test compliance once the van returned to the road in 2024. The low recent use is favourable for consumable wear yet raises the risk of perished rubber and fluid degradation from standing. A pre-purchase inspection beneath the vehicle remains essential before commitment.
