2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · LP62 AET

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 56,246 miles passed with no defects recorded, following clean passes on 6 February 2025 at 53,612 miles and 8 February 2024 at 50,044 miles. The only blemish is a failure on 6 February 2024 at 50,043 miles, which the record shows with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or unrecorded-cause rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the five-year span. Mileage sits at 56,246 against a 13-year life, an average of roughly 4,327 miles per year. The van covered just 3,419 miles between the February 2023 test at 46,193 miles and the January 2026 test at 56,246 miles. Such low annual use suggests extended standing periods, which can allow moisture ingress and perished rubber components despite the clean MOT sheet. The two-day gap between the February 2024 fail and pass, with only one mile added, shows the owner corrected the issue promptly and retested without delay. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion, as the MOT record carries no advisories but long idle spells accelerate hidden rust on chassis rails and sills. Check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking from infrequent flexing, and verify brake calipers are free from binding after low-mileage storage. The absence of recorded faults implies conscientious test compliance, yet the sparse history offers no evidence on drivetrain wear beyond odometer figures.
