2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KM68 PRZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 206,443 miles passed, yet it flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit with uneven edges. This mirrors issues seen in 2022 and 2024, suggesting that consumables are only replaced when they reach the point of inspection failure. The Sprinter shows a high-usage profile, averaging approximately 25,800 miles annually over its eight-year life. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 28,146 miles in a single year, confirming heavy commercial or long-distance use. This rapid accumulation places significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. While the 2023 test was largely clean after a minor marker lamp failure, the subsequent volume of miles driven increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on all mechanical assemblies. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the braking system and front-end geometry. Records from 2024 noted a nearsside rear parking brake efficiency that barely met the requirement and front service brakes binding, while 2022 highlighted pitted and scored front discs. A buyer should verify if the calipers are seized or if the system is properly adjusted. The recurring uneven wear on the front tyres across 2022, 2024, and 2025 strongly points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require a professional check to prevent further premature tyre degradation.
