2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KV70 LWM

The overall roadworthiness status for the 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is negative due to a recurring failure of the front supplementary restraint system warning lamp and a significant cut in the nearside rear tyre tread. While the most recent test on 2026-04-29 at 13,688 miles was passed, the subsequent failure on 2026-04-28 indicates that the vehicle has not been maintained consistently over the past two years. The maintenance trend is clearly worsening, with the engine malfunctioning in 2025-10-23 and the brake system failing in 2025-10-23, suggesting a lack of routine servicing and an increasing risk of catastrophic failure. The mileage profile reflects a significant gap in data that may be due to infrequent test dates or a lack of records. The vehicle has only one recorded test, which is the most recent date of 2026-04-29, and this test was completed at 13,688 miles. There are no gaps between the most recent test and the failure on 2026-04-28, meaning the vehicle has not been tested in a year or two. This lack of historical data makes it difficult to determine if the wear on the brake discs or suspension bushings is accelerating or if the vehicle has simply been driven too lightly for its age, as the mileage is low compared to its 5-year lifespan. Given the recurring faults in the front supplementary restraint system warning lamp, the nearside rear tyre cut, and the engine malfunction, the vehicle presents a serious risk of structural integrity issues and potential safety hazards. The buyer must inspect the front wheels immediately to verify that the brake discs are intact and the wheel bearings are free from corrosion, as these components are the most likely to fail given the history of a failed front lamp. Additionally, the buyer should check the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear that have not been addressed in the MOT, as the history of a failed rear tyre and a failing front lamp suggests that the vehicle has not been serviced according to the manufacturer's schedule.
