2003 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.2L Diesel · GK03 EWM

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 June 2024 at 197,384 miles with no recorded defects. The earlier failures in March and early April 2023, followed by a clean pass in April 2023, indicate an improving trend rather than a deteriorating one. At 197,384 miles the Sprinter averages roughly 8,500 miles per year over its 23‑year lifespan, a mileage level that sits comfortably within normal usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage rose by about 5,400 miles between the March 2022 pass and the June 2024 pass, showing a steady accumulation without any abrupt spikes or prolonged idle periods. A prospective buyer should give particular attention to wear items and structural elements that are not captured by the MOT record. Examine tyre tread depth and uniformity, check suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, and verify that brake discs and calipers operate without binding or excessive noise. Inspect the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, and scan the chassis for any rust that could compromise structural integrity. While the MOT data shows no recorded faults, the brief series of failures in early 2023 suggests that a thorough visual and functional inspection is prudent before finalising purchase.
