2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Progressive CDI 1.9L Diesel · KS70 DWD

The vehicle presents a stable but maintenance-reactive roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 at 116,655 miles shows a pass, though the tester flagged a deteriorated front registration plate, a defective windscreen wiper, and windscreen damage. While these are minor non-mechanical defects, they indicate a tendency to overlook basic consumable upkeep. This Sprinter has covered 116,655 miles in approximately six years, averaging roughly 19,442 miles annually. The mileage accumulation has accelerated significantly in the last year. Between the January 2025 test at 82,245 miles and the January 2026 test at 116,655 miles, the vehicle covered 34,410 miles. This high-intensity usage pattern increases the likelihood of accelerated wear on suspension components, drivetrain elements, and braking systems. The MOT history reveals recurring issues with visibility and minor exterior components. Windscreen damage and defective wiper blades appeared in both the September 2023 and January 2025 tests, and the windscreen damage persisted into the January 2026 inspection. The January 2025 record also highlighted significant wear on the front brake discs and pads, alongside a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. These findings suggest the vehicle is often operated until components reach their wear limits rather than being serviced preventatively. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, specifically checking for uneven pad wear or scored discs, given the previous advisories. The high annual mileage necessitates a close examination of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of fatigue. Additionally, check the condition of all exterior lighting and reflectors, as the nearside rear reflector was flagged as defective in two consecutive inspections.
