2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · LP62 AEL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-12-18 at 96,210 miles showed no defects, confirming a stable maintenance trend over the past 12 months. Previous tests from 2024 and 2023 also passed without issues, indicating consistent upkeep. The single failed test in 2023-12-19 at 95,156 miles recorded no defects, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor, unresolved concern. Overall, the absence of critical failures in recent years implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the 2023 failure warrants scrutiny for potential underlying issues. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging 6,872 miles annually. Tests spaced approximately 12 months apart show steady mileage growth, with no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. The 2022-12-22 test at 90,929 miles marks a clear starting point for the recorded history, with subsequent checks reflecting gradual wear. The lack of irregularities in the data suggests no prolonged periods of inactivity or excessive strain on components. A buyer should physically inspect suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time without obvious warning signs. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop gradually. Corrosion risks, especially in the vehicle’s structural frame or exhaust system, warrant attention given its age. While MOT records show no immediate hazards, the 2023 failure and the vehicle’s 14-year lifespan justify a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm long-term reliability.
