2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KP62 DWW

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across the five most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 23 December 2025 at 185,012 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the vehicle cleared its annual roadworthiness check roughly seven months before the current date. Annual mileage averages 13,215 across the van's fourteen-year life, a high figure for a light commercial vehicle of this age. Records show consistent annual use: the tester logged 140,602 miles in January 2022, 146,895 by January 2023, 159,432 by December 2023, 172,217 by December 2024, and 185,012 by December 2025. The yearly increments of roughly 6,000 to 13,000 miles indicate steady service rather than standing idle or abrupt high-load periods. The DVSA data is sparse on faults, with every entry showing a pass and no advisories raised on consumables or structure. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the 185,012-mile accumulation. High-mileage Sprinters commonly develop corrosion on chassis members and subframes even when MOT testers record no structural advisories. Examine the exhaust emissions system and turbo plumbing for age-related degradation not captured in a clean pass. Verify service history for drivetrain intervals, as the OM651 diesel unit demands timely oil and gearbox fluid changes at this mileage. The absence of recorded defects suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the clean MOT trail offers no evidence of deeper mechanical condition beyond the annual test scope.
