2009 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · HX09 CFO

The 2025‑11‑24 MOT at 36,262 miles confirms the vehicle is presently roadworthy, with only minor advisories on the near‑side and off‑side front shock absorber bushes and a deteriorated rear registration plate. The record shows a stable maintenance pattern, as each subsequent test since 2016 has resulted in a pass, aside from the single failure in January 2016 that was followed by a clean pass the next day. Mileage accumulation has been modest and steady, rising from 13,827 miles in early 2016 to 36,262 miles by late 2025, averaging roughly 2,100 miles per year; the interval between the 2016‑01‑22/23 tests and the 2025‑11‑24 test spans nearly ten years with an average annual increase of about 2,100 miles, indicating light usage and possible extended periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore concentrate on the components that have repeatedly attracted advisories: the front shock absorber bushes, which show slight wear and may affect ride quality and handling; the rear registration plate, whose deterioration could mask mis‑read characters; the electrical wiring near the second axle, noted as insecure in the 2016 failure and potentially prone to intermittent faults; the brake discs, which were recorded as corroded in the 2019 test and may exhibit pitting or binding calipers; and any signs of structural rust or fatigue in the chassis, suspension arms, and mounting points. Given the low annual mileage, consumable wear such as tyre tread and wiper blades is unlikely to be excessive, but the recurring suspension and electrical findings suggest that a detailed physical inspection of shock absorber mounting, brake condition, wiring integrity, and chassis corrosion is essential before purchase.
