2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 316 Progressive CDI 2.1L Diesel · KS70 GOC

The overall roadworthiness status is currently poor, and the maintenance trend is deteriorating rather than stable or improving. The most recent test on 2025-09-08 was passed at 256,679 miles, but the history reveals a significant deterioration. Failing twice on tyre tread suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped between the 2023-11-21 and 2024-10-16 tests, leading to accelerated wear on critical components. The mileage pattern is characterized by rapid accumulation and a notable gap between the most recent test on 2025-09-08 and the earlier test on 2024-10-16. The vehicle has logged approximately 51,336 miles per year, which is high for a 2021 model, indicating that the engine and drivetrain components are under heavy stress. This high mileage suggests that the vehicle has been driven for a long period, likely without sufficient oil changes or regular servicing, which accelerates wear on suspension, brakes, and drivetrain components. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to identify specific mechanical risks, particularly focusing on the suspension and braking systems. The history indicates that the front inner brake pads are thin and the offside rear tyre is worn close to the legal limit, both of which are serious red flags. The steering rack inner joint is also flagged as a structural concern, and the front windscreen wiper blade is defective, suggesting that the vehicle may require urgent replacement of these parts to prevent a future breakdown.
