2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · LP62 ADV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 8 September 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable based on the available data, as the most recent test at 366,685 miles recorded no defects or advisories. This suggests the vehicle met the minimum legal roadworthiness standards at the time of the last inspection. The mileage data presents significant discrepancies that raise serious concerns regarding the vehicle's history. The record shows 533,196 miles in July 2023 and 568,572 miles in August 2024. However, the September 2025 entry lists the mileage as 366,685 miles. This represents a backward jump of approximately 201,887 miles in one year. Such a contradiction suggests either a clerical error by the testing station or an attempt to clock the odometer. A buyer must verify the actual mileage through service records or a physical inspection of the interior wear. Given the high usage patterns implied by the 2023 and 2024 figures, the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and turbocharger are likely heavily worn. The absence of recorded defects in the MOT history is unusual for a high-mileage Sprinter, which typically shows signs of chassis corrosion or brake wear. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the underside for structural rust and check the condition of the brake discs and pads. The discrepancy in the mileage logs makes the vehicle a high-risk purchase until the true distance travelled is confirmed. Pay close attention to the engine's compression and the state of the clutch, as these components are prone to failure at the higher mileage figures indicated in the 2024 record.
