2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KD68 DYA

The 2022‑02‑22 MOT at 145,505 miles passed without any defects, confirming that the vehicle currently meets the DVSA roadworthiness standard and that the maintenance record shows a stable trend. No failures or advisories were recorded in either the February 10 or February 22 tests. At seven years old, the Sprinter has accumulated roughly 20,800 miles per year, a rate that exceeds typical usage for a vehicle of this age and suggests considerable wear on consumables and mechanical components. The mileage rose by only one mile between the February 10 and February 22 tests, confirming that the odometer reading has remained consistent and that no significant periods of non‑use have been evident. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, examining bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for wear or binding, and inspect the brake assembly, including rear calipers for binding and the condition of brake discs for scoring or corrosion. Particular attention should also be given to structural integrity, checking for rust on the chassis and floorpan, and to exhaust emissions compliance, as these components are the most likely to have deteriorated despite the clean MOT outcome. Given the high annual mileage, a buyer should also verify tyre tread depth, wiper blade wear and the presence of any concealed structural corrosion, since these consumables are prone to rapid degradation in a high‑mileage Sprinter.
