2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · LP62 AEK

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 70,301 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Prior to that, the May 2024 cycle showed a clean pass at 65,487 miles after a failed attempt on 2 May 2024 at 65,480 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The vehicle has cleared every valid test since May 2022 without advisories, suggesting consistent baseline condition across its recorded history. Recorded mileage sits at 70,301 against a 13-year lifespan, equating to roughly 5,408 miles per year and marking this van as low-use for its class. The odometer moved only 4,821 miles between the May 2023 test (63,480) and the May 2024 pass (65,487), then added 4,814 miles to the 2025 figure. Such light annual accumulation implies either gentle commercial duty or extended standing periods, though the MOT data shows no gaps in annual testing to suggest long-term dereliction. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points typical of Sprinter chassis rails and sills, as the clean MOT record does not capture latent rust outside test-day scope. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical checks for age-related degradation given the vehicle's low but ageing profile. The May 2024 fail with zero recorded defects remains anomalous; verify with the selling party whether the initial submission was a mistaken entry or a withdrawn test to confirm no suppressed fault history exists.
