2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 314 Progressive CDI 2.1L Diesel · LL71 AAN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent MOT pass dated 21 February 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable as the tester recorded no defects or advisories at 173,711 miles. A failure occurred one day prior on 20 February 2025 at 173,710 miles, though the record lists no specific defects for that failure, suggesting a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage is exceptionally high for a four year old vehicle. Accumulating 173,711 miles by February 2025 averages roughly 43,428 miles per year. This indicates heavy commercial use, likely involving long-distance motorway hauling. The lack of recorded faults over such a high mileage suggests a disciplined maintenance regime, as vehicles used this intensively typically show significant wear on suspension and braking systems. A buyer must focus on high-wear components that the MOT does not always exhaustively quantify. Given the extreme mileage, a physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the turbocharger, fuel injectors, and the DPF system. Check for play in the steering rack and wear in the suspension bushes or coil springs, as these components face accelerated fatigue under this level of usage. Inspect the chassis and underbody for surface corrosion, particularly if the vehicle operated in coastal areas or salted winter roads. While the MOT record is clean, the sheer volume of miles makes a full service history check essential to verify that oil changes and timing components were addressed well before their intervals.
