2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KS16 XGU

This vehicle has a high mileage count for its age, averaging over 18,000 miles per year. This suggests heavy use, which typically accelerates wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The most recent MOT in October 2025 resulted in a failure and subsequent pass, but the history reveals a worsening trend in chassis and suspension health. Specifically, the rear anti-roll bar linkages have degraded from "worn" in 2022 and 2024 to "excessively worn" by 2025. A more concerning pattern is the recurring mention of corroded rear brake pipes. This issue has been flagged consistently since September 2024. The fact that they were noted as covered in grease or other material suggests an attempt to mask or slow the corrosion rather than a permanent structural repair. Given the high mileage and the evidence of chassis corrosion and suspension wear, the vehicle's condition is trending downward. A buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of the underside for further corrosion, specifically focusing on the brake lines and chassis rails. You should also verify that the anti-roll bar links have been properly replaced and check the overall condition of the steering rack following previous advisories.
