2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · OV61 ABO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last four years. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 151,334 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a technical failure just two days prior at 151,314 miles. This specific sequence suggests a minor administrative or minor component issue that was rectified immediately, as the subsequent clean test certificate indicates a proactive approach to maintaining legal compliance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a commercial vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,810 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the vehicle covered 16,034 miles, showing a steady rate of roughly 4,000 miles per annum. This regularity suggests the van has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for seals and mechanical components. The lack of significant mileage gaps between annual tests indicates a predictable usage pattern without sudden bursts of heavy strain. Given the clean MOT history in the recent years, an in-person inspection should focus on high-wear areas common to the Sprinter at this mileage bracket. A buyer must verify the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often show wear before they trigger an MOT failure. Close attention to the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the mounting points, is essential since the record does not flag historical rust. Checking the brake discs for thinning or binding calipers will ensure the system remains sound after fourteen years of service use.
