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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent MOT history indicates a decline in maintenance standards regarding external assemblies. While the van passed its test on 24 March 2026 at 38,865 miles, it failed just one day prior due to multiple defects. The transition from a clean record in 2025 to a multi-point failure in 2026 suggests that preventative inspections of minor components have been neglected until the annual testing deadline. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,700 miles per annum. Between the February 2025 test at 25,372 miles and the March 2026 test at 38,865 miles, the vehicle covered 13,493 miles. This rate of use is typical for a light-duty commercial vehicle, yet the sudden appearance of suspension wear at this relatively low mileage suggests that components may be reaching the end of their optimal service life. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension, as the March 2026 test flagged slight play in both the nearside and offside front lower suspension arm ball joints. These components require attention to prevent future steering instability or uneven tyre wear. The buyer should also verify the rear bodywork, where the tester identified a loose box section, to ensure the structural integrity is properly secured and not suffering from hidden corrosion. Finally, confirm that the nearside rear side marker and nearside front bumper have been correctly repaired and secured as these were specific points of failure.
