2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Progressive CDI 1.9L Diesel · ND21 XBL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT on 01 June 2026 at 69,880 miles. While the vehicle initially failed the test on that same day due to nearside and offside headlamp aim being too high, the issue was rectified immediately to secure a pass. The maintenance trend appears stable, as there are no mechanical defects, structural corrosion, or recurring advisories recorded across the last three years of testing history. The mileage pattern indicates consistent and high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per year. Between the May 2024 test at 33,350 miles and the May 2025 test at 61,213 miles, the vehicle covered 27,863 miles in a single year. An additional 8,667 miles were recorded in the year leading up to the June 2026 test. This rapid accumulation suggests the Sprinter has been used for long-distance transit, which places higher stress on drivetrain and suspension components compared to lower mileage examples. Given the clean MOT record regarding advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on heavy-wear components typical to high-mileage commercial vans. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of sagging or tearing, as the high annual mileage accelerates rubber degradation. While the record does not flag brake issues, the thickness of the discs and the state of the calipers should be verified manually given the consistent usage profile. Check the chassis for any early surface corrosion to ensure the high-frequency use has not led to structural fatigue not yet captured by the MOT tester.
