2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KV70 LDJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 May 2026 at 119,819 miles with no recorded defects. This represents a stable maintenance trend following a period of minor neglect in late 2024. While the 2024 test revealed basic electrical and tyre issues, the clean sheets from the two most recent inspections suggest the current owner is addressing required repairs promptly as they arise. The mileage profile indicates high-intensity commercial use, averaging approximately 20,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between the October 2023 test at 80,812 miles and the April 2025 test at 106,104 miles, where the vehicle covered 25,000 miles in just sixteen months. Since then, another 13,715 miles have been added prior to the May 2026 test. This rapid and consistent accumulation places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system compared to lower-mileage examples. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and bushings, as the high mileage often accelerates wear on these components in heavy commercial vans. The 2024 failure regarding a tyre worn specifically on the edge suggests potential alignment issues or incorrect pressures that require verification to ensure the vehicle does not pull unevenly. Given the high annual mileage, checking the brake discs and pads for thinning or signs of binding calipers is essential, as these are likely nearing the end of their service life under such load.
