2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · KY67 TAV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on May 21, 2026, at 118,280 miles. The tester identified an electrical fault involving the nearside and offside side repeaters flashing at an excessive rate, which indicates a wiring or relay issue rather than a mechanical failure. Looking back to the 2025 test at 88,270 miles, the record shows thinning rear brake pads and a non-excessive oil leak. The presence of an oil leak a year ago suggests that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, the engine requires monitoring to ensure seals or gaskets do not deteriorate between subsequent inspections. At 118,280 miles over nine years, this Sprinter has averaged approximately 13,142 miles per year. This high mileage is consistent with commercial use and typically places significant stress on suspension components and drivetrain parts. In the 2024 test at 70,564 miles, the tester flagged wear on the nearside and offside rear anti-roll bar linkage bushes. While these were noted as not resulting in excessive movement at the time, the recurring mention of suspension wear across years suggests the vehicle is reaching the end of its optimal lifecycle for heavy-duty components. The maintenance history shows a stable trend of minor consumable wear and electrical glitches. The steering rack play detected in the 2026 test at 118,280 miles was resolved by the time of the next pass, indicating the owner addresses mechanical faults when flagged. A buyer should specifically inspect the area around the previously reported oil leak and check the integrity of the anti-roll bar bushes again, given the high-intensity usage profile. The lack of structural corrosion or brake failures in the record is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
