2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Progressive CDI 1.9L Diesel · ND72 XRN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to upkeep. The most recent test on 12 December 2025 at 81,507 miles resulted in a pass only after an initial failure. While the owner addressed the electrical faults regarding the headlamp and position lamp to secure the pass, the persistence of a damaged central front seat belt buckle as an advisory suggests that minor defects are only being addressed when they threaten to cause an MOT failure. At 81,507 miles over just four years, this Sprinter has covered an average of over 20,000 miles per annum. This high mileage indicates consistent heavy use or frequent motorway operation, which accelerates the wear on heavy-duty components and consumables. The gap between the December 2025 test and the current date suggests the vehicle remains in active service, but the rapid accumulation of miles puts significant strain on the drivetrain and suspension geometry. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and suspension, as the record flagged three separate tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing uneven edge wear. This pattern often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that require immediate attention. Given the high mileage, the buyer should also inspect the brake discs for signs of thinning or scoring and check the underbody for any signs of structural corrosion, as the MOT record does not detail the mechanical state of these critical high-wear components.
