2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 517 1.9L Diesel · OT24 BUS

The vehicle maintains a clean roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 13 April 2026 at 148,437 miles, which passed with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass during the previous inspection on 27 June 2025 at 82,298 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite the heavy usage profile, as the vehicle has consistently met the minimum safety standards without any flagged failures or advisories. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a two-year-old vehicle. Between the June 2025 and April 2026 tests, the vehicle covered 66,139 miles in just under ten months. This represents an average of over 79,000 miles per year, indicating long-distance commercial use or intensive courier fleet operation. While the MOT record shows no mechanical failures resulting from this mileage, the rapid rate of travel places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems compared to typical cycles. A prospective buyer must focus their physical inspection on components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the 148,437-mile mark, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential to identify signs of premature fatigue. The braking system should be scrutinised for thin discs or binding calipers, as high-frequency use often accelerates component degradation. Additionally, the chassis should be inspected for any signs of structural stress or corrosion to ensure the heavy-duty usage history has not compromised the integrity of the frame.
