2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · PO63 CFX

The 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five consecutive tests, with the most recent inspection on 20 February 2026 at 172,089 miles confirming no defects. This suggests the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures or recurring faults during its service life, though the absence of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The regularity of passes indicates compliance with annual testing requirements, but the lack of any recorded issues—even minor—implies either meticulous owner upkeep or a vehicle that has not yet reached critical wear thresholds for its age and mileage. The recorded mileage progression of approximately 7,377 miles per year—calculated from the 172,089 miles at the latest test to the 164,712 miles at the 2025 inspection—is consistent with the overall high annual average of 13,238 miles over the vehicle’s lifetime. This suggests the Sprinter has been actively used rather than stored, which could accelerate wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain components. Notably, there are no gaps in the MOT history, and the mileage increments remain steady, ruling out periods of neglect or extended inactivity. Given the lack of recorded defects, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-mileage components such as the suspension geometry, particularly rear coil springs and bushes, which may exhibit fatigue or dry rot after 172,089 miles. The braking system—while not flagged in MOTs—should be scrutinised for uneven wear on discs or caliper binding, as high mileage can lead to thermal warping or corrosion in brake hardware. Structural integrity, including underbody corrosion and frame rigidity, should also be assessed, as commercial vehicles are prone to salt damage and rust propagation in wheel arches and subframes. Finally, the exhaust system and emissions control components, such as the DPF (if diesel), warrant verification, as these are common failure points in older commercial vehicles.
