2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KM68 PZY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT on 19 January 2026 at 108,957 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2025 and 2026, the vehicle failed the initial test just a few miles before the recorded pass. This suggests that the previous owner practised reactive maintenance, addressing faults only when prompted by the testing process rather than following a preventative service schedule. The Sprinter shows consistent high-mileage usage patterns, averaging approximately 13,600 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the vehicle covered 5,694 miles, while it clocked another 5,697 miles in the year leading up to the January 2026 test. This accumulation indicates the vehicle is used regularly for commercial purposes rather than sitting for long periods. While the record is clean of structural defects, the high mileage for an eight-year vehicle places significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system and chassis integrity, given the heavy-duty nature of the Sprinter. Look for signs of excessive wear on control arms and shock absorbers, which often degrade rapidly at six-figure mileage. Because the MOT record does not list specific reasons for the recent failures, it is vital to check the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear and ensure the failures were not related to recurring mechanical issues. Inspect the underside for corrosion, ensuring that the high-mileage exposure to road elements has not accelerated structural decay on the frame.
