2003 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.2L Diesel · KR03 WLU

The most recent MOT on 2025-06-04 showed a pass with 123,350 miles, but several recurring issues were recorded. Discolored direction indicators, worn brake discs, and slight wheel bearing play were noted, alongside corrosion in body panels and suspension components. These findings align with earlier MOTs, indicating persistent concerns with structural integrity, braking systems, and suspension wear. A clear pattern of corrosion emerges, particularly in sills, suspension mounts, and body structure. The 2024-02-12 MOT highlighted significant corrosion reducing structural rigidity, while the 2023-07-11 test cited similar issues. Though the 2025 MOT did not explicitly mention structural corrosion, the presence of rusted components and ongoing brake disc wear suggests the problem may not have been fully resolved. Mechanical issues show a stable trend rather than worsening. Brake disc wear, suspension play, and minor oil leaks were consistently recorded across multiple MOTs, with no new critical defects in the latest test. However, the absence of major repairs in the history raises questions about whether underlying issues have been addressed. The vehicle’s mileage of 123,350 miles over 23 years equates to roughly 5,363 miles annually—low for its age.
