2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · JD11 DON

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a pass at 214,999 miles on 18 June 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing stable in terms of recorded condition. The most recent test shows no defects, yet the history reveals a recurring pattern of initial failures followed by rapid passes at near-identical mileages, suggesting last-minute rectification rather than scheduled preventative care. The Sprinter has covered roughly 16,538 miles per year across its 13-year life, reaching 214,999 miles by mid-2025. Annual increments are consistent: 176,774 miles in June 2023, 192,384 at the June 2024 failure, and 214,244 at the June 2025 failure. Each year added about 16,000 miles with no standing periods. The DVSA entries are sparse and clean, recording no advisories or defects on any pass or failure line, which limits insight into wear on consumables and mechanical items. The repeated failures on 3 June 2025 at 214,244 miles and 14 June 2024 at 192,384 miles, both cleared within days with no noted defects, point to omitted pre-test checks by the prior operator. A buyer should physically verify suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc thickness, and structural corrosion beneath the chassis, as the bare MOT lines give no visibility of these. Confirm the presented vehicle matches the 214,999-mile odometer and request invoices for the rectification work behind the two recent failures. Given the high mileage and twice-yearly failure-then-pass cycle, treat the van as a working vehicle with deferred maintenance discipline. Inspect exhaust emissions under load and test for binding calipers on a road trial. The absence of advisories across the record does not confirm component health; it reflects the test outcomes alone.
