2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Progressive CDI 1.9L Diesel · PJ21 AHK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 March 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a curious failure recorded just five days prior on 26 March 2026 at the same mileage. Since the tester recorded no defects during that failure, it likely represents an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The vehicle has maintained a clean pass record across the last three annual inspections. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a five-year-old vehicle, totaling 173,291 miles. This represents an average usage of approximately 34,600 miles per year, indicating heavy commercial application. Between the late April 2024 test at 119,067 miles and the April 2025 test at 146,484 miles, the vehicle covered 27,017 miles in just twelve months. This rapid accumulation puts significant accelerated stress on the drivetrain, turbocharger, and suspension components compared to a standard-use vehicle. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear. Given the mileage, the suspension should be checked for perished rubber bushes, leaking shock absorbers, and sagged coil springs. The braking system requires an evaluation for thin discs and seized calipers, as the high-frequency use often exhausts these consumables quickly. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion, the chassis and underbody should be inspected for signs of rust, which is common in vans used in heavy cycles.
