2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · OY62 AED

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at 284,545 miles on 23 December 2024. Each annual test from January 2021 through December 2024 recorded no defects and no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across the five-year MOT window. The odometer climbed from 205,393 miles on 4 January 2021 to 284,545 miles by 23 December 2024, an accumulation of 79,152 miles over roughly four years. That equates to near 19,800 miles per year, consistent with the 21,888-mile annual average for its age. The sparse record shows five consecutive passes with zero flagged items, suggesting the previous operator kept the van to a basic pass standard rather than addressing wear before the tester caught it. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage and commercial-use profile of the Sprinter chassis. The absence of advisories does not confirm component health, only that the tester found nothing beyond the pass threshold on the day. Structural corrosion around chassis members and the rear subframe warrants close visual checks, as 13-year-old vans used heavily often develop hidden rust. Drivetrain wear on the gearbox and differential should be assessed under load, since the MOT does not measure internal mechanical condition.
