2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 314 Progressive CDI 2.1L Diesel · R49 VES

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 23 August 2025 at 20,053 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean result from November 2024, indicating that the Sprinter consistently meets minimum safety and emissions standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage profile is significantly low for a five-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 4,011 miles per annum. Between the November 2024 and August 2025 tests, the vehicle covered only 381 miles over a nine-month period. This low usage suggests the van was likely used for light local tasks or remained stationary for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to rubber component degradation or brake disc corrosion if the vehicle is not driven regularly. Since the MOT record shows no history of mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage operation. A buyer should check for flat spots on tyres and surface rust on the brake discs, which are common when vehicles sit for long durations. The suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for signs of cracking, as the age of the vehicle can affect these materials regardless of the distance driven. Additionally, verifying the fluid levels and condition is essential to ensure the low usage intervals have not led to oil degradation.
