2009 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.2L Diesel · NH09 LUT

The 2023‑05‑28 test at 294,312 miles resulted in a pass, confirming that the Mercedes‑Benz Sprinter met all roadworthiness criteria at that point. The earlier failure on the same date, also recorded at 294,312 miles, indicates that previous defects were corrected before the successful retest, suggesting a recent improvement in maintenance rather than a deteriorating condition. Since the 2023 test, no further MOT entries have been logged, leaving a three‑year interval with no documented mileage change. The vehicle’s total mileage of 294,312 at an age of 17 years translates to roughly 17,312 miles per year, a rate that exceeds typical usage for a 2009 model and implies accelerated wear on consumables and mechanical components. A buyer should therefore focus on the suspension system, examining bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for signs of binding or excessive play, and inspect the brake assembly for worn discs, binding calipers and pad thickness. Particular attention must also be given to structural rust on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and sills, and to the condition of the exhaust system, as high annual mileage can accelerate corrosion and fatigue in these areas.
