2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KC19 MVY

The vehicle achieved a clean pass on 23 October 2024 at 109,842 miles, though this certificate has now expired relative to the current date of June 2026. The maintenance trend appears to be resolving, as the serious braking deficiencies noted in previous years were addressed to secure that pass. The record indicates a pattern of deferred maintenance on safety-critical systems, specifically the rear braking circuit, which failed twice in twelve months before passing. Usage intensity has fluctuated significantly over the vehicle's life. Between August 2022 and August 2023, the odometer surged by approximately 34,922 miles, suggesting heavy commercial or long-distance use during that period. The subsequent year saw a reduction to roughly 16,000 miles, bringing the total average to a high 15,692 miles per annum. This high mileage accelerates wear on drivetrain components and consumables, demanding rigorous adherence to service schedules. Prospective buyers must scrutinise the rear braking assembly and parking brake mechanism. The tester flagged parking brake efficiency below requirements in August 2023 and again in October 2024, where it registered less than 50% of the required value, alongside worn rear pads. While the nearside rear tyre was replaced to pass the 2024 test, the remaining rubber requires inspection for uneven wear patterns that might indicate tracking or suspension issues.
