2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Progressive CDI 1.9L Diesel · PO22 XUB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 28, 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent lapse in preventative care evidenced by a failure just one day prior to that pass. While the vehicle cleared the latest inspection, the failure at 29,109 miles indicates that the braking system was allowed to reach a point of critical wear before being addressed. At a recorded mileage of 29,109 miles over four years, the Sprinter averages approximately 7,277 miles per annum. This usage level is consistent with a typical commercial vehicle profile and suggests the van has not undergone excessive heavy-duty strain. The interval between the April 2025 test at 21,060 miles and the April 2026 test shows an accumulation of 8,049 miles, which is a standard rate of travel that explains the accelerated wear observed on the front braking components. A buyer must personally inspect the entire front braking assembly to ensure the repairs made after the April failure were comprehensive. The tester flagged the nearside front brake pads at a dangerously thin 1.1mm and the offside pads as wearing thin, alongside pitted and scored front discs. It is vital to verify that both discs and pads were replaced in pairs rather than just the pads, as uneven wear can lead to brake pull or premature failure. Given the age of the vehicle, a check for caliper corrosion and the condition of the suspension bushes is also advisable, as these were not highlighted in the recent records but remain common points of failure on this model.
