2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · LR15 FTD

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has maintained a clean MOT history since its most recent test on 25 March 2026, where it passed without any defects recorded at 99,917 miles. This suggests the vehicle has been kept in a roadworthy condition for the past year, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by the tester. The absence of advisories or failings in the last two tests indicates that previous owners have likely addressed minor wear items promptly, such as the edge-tyre wear noted in the 2024 test, which was not repeated. However, the 2022 and 2024 tests reveal two instances of wiper blade failures and a damaged windscreen, both classified as non-critical but indicative of basic upkeep being overlooked. The most recent MOT’s clean pass is reassuring, but the sporadic nature of these minor faults warrants closer inspection of fluid levels and wear-and-tear components. The vehicle’s mileage progression of approximately 9,083 miles per year aligns with typical usage for its age, with no extreme gaps or rapid accumulation that would suggest neglect or heavy duty. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where the odometer increased by 7,413 miles in a year, yet no mechanical failings were recorded. The consistent annual MOT intervals—without any missed tests—further imply the vehicle has been driven regularly rather than stored for prolonged periods. That said, the lack of pre-MOT servicing records means the buyer cannot assume routine maintenance like oil changes or suspension inspections were performed between tests. Given the history, the buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear axle and coil springs, as edge-tyre wear in 2024 could signal uneven camber or worn suspension bushes. The brakes were never flagged in the MOTs, but binding or uneven wear on the rear calipers or discs should be checked, especially if the vehicle has been used for heavy loads. Corrosion around the wheel arches, subframe, and exhaust system—common in Sprinters—must be thoroughly examined, as the 2022 windscreen damage suggests potential neglect of bodywork. Finally, the windscreen itself should be assessed for hidden cracks or delamination, as the 2022 classification of "not adversely affecting driver’s view" does not guarantee long-term integrity.
