2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KM66 XTW

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following a pass on 15 October 2025 at 228,369 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test shows no defects, and the prior failure on 14 October 2025 at 228,352 miles was logged with no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure. This pattern repeats the 4 October 2024 failure at 221,156 miles, also with no defects, followed by a pass the same day. The Sprinter has covered 228,369 miles over roughly ten years, averaging about 22,837 miles per year, which is high for a 2016 van and points to sustained commercial use. Mileage moved from 218,368 on 18 May 2024 to 221,156 by 4 October 2024, then to 228,369 by October 2025, showing steady accumulation without abrupt jumps or standing gaps. The MOT data itself is sparse on advisories, with every test recording no defects, so the file gives no warning of wear items or corrosion tracked by testers. Given the clean record and high annual mileage, a buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue not captured by the pass. The twin failure-pass pairs on consecutive days in 2024 and 2025 suggest paperwork or presentation issues at the test centre rather than owner neglect, but the lack of advisories means underlying structural integrity and exhaust emissions were not flagged for attention. A physical check of chassis corrosion, driveshaft gaiters, and tyre tread depth remains sensible on a high-mileage Sprinter. The record implies previous operators kept the van test-compliant, yet the absence of logged wear means in-person scrutiny of consumables and mechanical condition is the only way to confirm roadworthiness beyond the certificate.
