2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · MX64 AVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy based on the most recent pass on 18 December 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable in terms of technical defects, as no specific mechanical failures were recorded during the tests. However, the pattern of three failures between May 2023 and December 2024 suggests a lack of pre-test preparation or administrative delays in getting the vehicle through the inspection process. The mileage is high for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging over 20,000 miles per year. Between July 2022 and December 2024, the odometer increased from 234,793 to 243,672 miles. This represents a significant slowdown in usage, covering fewer than 9,000 miles over two and a half years. Such a sharp drop in annual mileage often indicates a change in vehicle role or periods of standing, which can lead to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the chassis and suspension. High mileage Sprinters are prone to structural corrosion and wear in the suspension bushes and coil springs, even if the MOT record is clean. The lack of recorded defects is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, meaning a professional check for hidden rust or oil leaks is essential. Check the condition of the brake discs and tyres for flat spots or cracking caused by the recent period of inactivity. Given the high cumulative mileage, the drivetrain and turbocharger should be assessed for excessive wear. The gap between the May 2023 failure and the December 2024 pass suggests the vehicle may have been off the road for a significant duration.
