2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KY65 OTS

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter shows a history of fluctuating mechanical health primarily concerning the braking and suspension systems. In the most recent test on February 2026 at 110,001 miles, the vehicle passed despite the parking brake efficiency barely meeting the minimum threshold, indicating the system is nearing the end of its tolerance. The tester identified corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear brake pipes, which were obscured by grease. This suggests a lack of preventative cleaning or a potential leak elsewhere that could lead to rapid component degradation if not addressed. The vehicle has covered 110,001 miles over eleven years, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. This usage profile is consistent with a commercial vehicle of this age, yet the MOT record reveals a period of significant neglect. In December 2022 at 98,599 miles, the van failed due to a fractured nearside leaf spring and a damaged nearside anti-roll bar linkage. While the vehicle passed its subsequent tests in 2023 and 2024, the return of brake-related issues in 2025 and 2026 indicates that the underbody components are subject to ongoing stress and corrosion. A failure in February 2025 at 109,997 miles highlighted electrical faults with the anti-lock and electronic stability control warning lamps, which were resolved by the following year. However, the recent trend of structural suspension wear and the marginal performance of the parking brake suggest the buyer should perform a thorough inspection of the rear line line and check for further hidden corrosion across the entire chassis. The recurring corrosion on the brake pipes suggests that while the owner addresses immediate failures, proactive maintenance of the underbody has been lacking.
