2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Premium CDI 1.9L Diesel · KN71 XCD

The vehicle holds a current MOT certificate valid until September 2026, indicating a stable roadworthiness status following the most recent test. While the vehicle passed the inspection conducted on 23 September 2025 at 84,743 miles, the tester identified that the front brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored. This advisory marks a shift from the previous clean pass recorded in August 2024 and suggests that the braking system components are now entering a phase of necessary replacement rather than simple monitoring. The recorded mileage of 84,743 miles over approximately five years of service reflects intensive commercial usage, averaging nearly 17,000 miles per annum. The jump of 27,332 miles between the August 2024 test and the September 2025 test confirms a consistent and heavy operational tempo typical of the Sprinter platform. This rapid accumulation of mileage places significant strain on the drivetrain and chassis, meaning the vehicle has likely spent the majority of its life under load rather than sitting idle. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front braking system, specifically checking the discs for the depth of scoring and the pads for remaining friction material. Given the high-mileage profile, you must also inspect the suspension bushes, track rod ends, and shock absorbers for play, as these components often fatigue under the weight cycles common to this vehicle class. Check the underside for any signs of surface corrosion on the chassis rails and ensure the drivetrain exhibits no undue vibration or noise during a road test, as the current MOT record provides a snapshot of compliance but does not account for the hidden wear inherent in high-utilisation commercial vehicles.
