2007 Mercedes Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KX07 MTD

This vehicle is a high-risk purchase. The most recent MOT record is from June 2022, meaning the vehicle has no recorded testing for four years. A buyer should treat this as a significant red flag regarding its current roadworthiness. The MOT history reveals a worsening trend of severe neglect. The vehicle has suffered from critical structural corrosion, including holed sills and excessively corroded suspension mountings. There is a recurring pattern of brake system failure, ranging from severely weakened discs and inoperative parking brakes to corroded brake pipes that were repeatedly flagged across multiple years. The recorded mileage of 256,949 is high for its age, suggesting heavy commercial use. This level of wear, combined with evidence of a diesel leak, oil leaks, and a tampered diesel particulate filter (DPF), indicates a vehicle that has been pushed hard and poorly maintained. The mechanical condition appears to have deteriorated over time, moving from general wear to structural failure and safety-critical defects. A buyer must first inspect the chassis and sills for extensive rust and structural holes.
