Our Verdict
Exercise significant caution. This vehic
Given the extremely high mileage, you must scrutinize the service history for evidence of major engine and transmission overhauls. Negotiate the price to account for the immediate need to address the worn front brake discs and the sill corrosion identified in the latest MOT. Ensure there is documented proof that the brake pipe corrosion and efficiency failures from 2023 were fully rectified rather than temporarily patched.
Running costs for this 2143cc diesel engine will be dominated by fuel consumption and the maintenance requirements of a high-mileage commercial vehicle. You should budget for frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items, as the MOT history shows a consistent need for new tyres and brake components.
Insurance and road tax will be standard for a van of this size and age, but maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age and usage. The estimated annual cost includes fuel, tax, insurance, and the likely need for ongoing mechanical repairs.
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system; the 2023 failure for corroded brake pipes and the 2026 advisory for pitted/scored discs indicate a persistent issue. Carefully examine the nearside sill for the corrosion mentioned in the September 2026 MOT to determine the extent of the damage.
Additionally, check the front lower suspension arm ball joints, which were noted as having play in August 2024, to confirm if they have since been replaced. Check the tread depth and condition of all tyres, as multiple MOT tests (2024 and 2025) have flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit.
This black 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has a recorded mileage of 295,808 miles. The MOT history reveals a pattern of wear on braking components and tyres, including a 2023 failure due to corroded brake pipes and poor brake efficiency. The most recent test in September 2026 notes further corrosion on the nearside sill and worn front brake discs.
Aggregate reliability data is unavailable for this model, but this specific vehicle shows significant wear consistent with its very high mileage.
