2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · PO64 KXZ

A critical void in the roadworthiness history defines this vehicle, as there are no recorded MOT tests for over eight years following the last entry on 3 August 2018. While the available data shows a pass in 2018, the record is preceded by a failure in September 2017 caused by seriously weakened front brake discs. This lack of recent official inspection means the current mechanical state of the vehicle is entirely undocumented, leaving the trend of its roadworthiness unknown since 2018. The recorded mileage of 154,921 miles over approximately twelve years reflects an average annual accumulation of 12,910 miles. This usage profile indicates a consistent operational load, which typically correlates with increased wear on drivetrain components, suspension bushings, and braking systems. Given the high total mileage and the extended period without a recorded test, there is a heightened probability of wear-related degradation across all major mechanical consumables. Prospective buyers should prioritise a detailed inspection of the front braking system, as the 2017 failure for seriously weakened discs indicates a history of significant component wear. During a test drive, feel for any pedal judder or vibrations under braking, which could suggest warped discs or uneven surface wear. The current thickness of the discs and the condition of the pads must be verified to ensure they meet safety standards. The suspension and steering geometry require close scrutiny due to the 2018 advisory regarding play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. Listen for knocking or clicking sounds when driving over bumps or while turning the steering wheel at low speeds, as these are primary symptoms of worn ball joints. Additionally, inspect the front tyres for uneven wear or edge scrubbing, which would align with the previous advisory and suggest ongoing issues with the suspension linkages or wheel alignment.
