2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KP62 DXZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2021 at 361,451 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a discoloured indicator. This represents a significant improvement over the failures seen in 2019 and 2020, where multiple safety and mechanical defects were identified. While the vehicle is currently compliant, the high-mileage context suggests components are nearing the end of their service life. At 361,451 miles, this Sprinter has covered an immense distance for its fourteen years, averaging over 25,000 miles per year. Between September 2019 and September 2020, the vehicle covered 64,171 miles in a single year, indicating extremely heavy commercial use. However, there is a concerning gap in the data following the December 2021 test. Given the current date of June 2026, the vehicle has not a recorded MOT in over four years, which leaves the current state of all mechanical and safety components entirely unknown and high-risk. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the suspension and steering systems, as the record shows recurring issues with anti-roll bar linkage bushes, shock absorber bushes, and steering rack free play. The 2020 failure for a corroded central rear brake pipe indicates that corrosion is a factor on this chassis, requiring a thorough check of all brake line integrity. Furthermore, the previous failure for an inoperative engine management light in 2019 suggests that electronic faults may have been masked or ignored. Given the high mileage and the long lapse in recent testing, the likelihood of significant drivetrain wear and structural rust is high.
