2021 Mercedes-Benz Esprinter Progressive Electric · PK71 OUO

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 19 November 2025 at 4,973 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. A prior test on 20 November 2024 at 4,004 miles also passed with no advisories or failures. This indicates a consistent maintenance trend with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by the tester. The recorded mileage of 4,973 miles over approximately five years equates to an average of just 995 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for a commercial Sprinter. The mileage progression shows a modest increase of 969 miles between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, confirming continued light use rather than long periods of standing. Such low annual mileage typically reduces wear on consumable components like brake discs, tyres, and suspension bushes, though prolonged inactivity can introduce its own risks. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. Low-mileage vans that stand idle for extended periods can develop sticking brake calipers, perished rubber bushes, or surface corrosion on exposed chassis components. Inspect the underside for any signs of structural rust, particularly around suspension mounting points, sills, and the exhaust system. Check tyre condition carefully, as older tyres with adequate tread may still suffer from sidewall cracking due to age rather than wear. The absence of any advisories across two consecutive MOTs suggests the previous owner maintained the vehicle to a reasonable standard. However, the extremely limited test history, covering only two passes, provides a narrow data window. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician remains advisable to verify the condition of the drivetrain, steering geometry, and braking system before committing to the purchase.
