2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · HE11 OCM

The vehicle currently maintains a satisfactory roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT test conducted on 176,295 miles. The maintenance history demonstrates a stable pattern of passing inspections, with no recurring major structural failures flagged. However, the record shows a persistent issue concerning the offside rear brake pipe, which has been noted as corroded on both the 2023 and 2025 tests. This recurring corrosion requires attention to prevent potential future leaks or material compromise. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age, registering approximately 12,592 miles per year over the last decade. The history shows steady wear, with tyre wear noted near the legal limit on both the nearside front tyres in 2021 and 2022. Furthermore, the front brake discs have been recorded as worn and pitted since the 2023 test, although they were not deemed seriously weakened at that time. Minor cosmetic damage to the side mirrors and intermittent oil leaks were also noted in the 2024 and 2023 tests, indicating routine consumable wear rather than immediate mechanical failure. A buyer should inspect the suspension components and brake lines thoroughly. Given the history of brake pipe corrosion, a physical inspection of the rear brake system is necessary to check for any signs of fluid seepage or structural degradation. The steering system was flagged as slightly rough in 2021, suggesting a potential need for alignment or component inspection. Finally, check the condition of all tyre treads and inspect the oil leak area to confirm the nature of the oil consumption.
