2003 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.2L Diesel · RX53 YJD

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the May 2025 test at 177,644 miles, where the tester passed it on the same date as a failed attempt with no defects logged. The maintenance trend appears stable across the recorded history, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged at any stage. A clean pass in December 2022 at 172,789 miles preceded the 2024 and 2025 entries, both of which show a pass and fail on identical dates and mileages with no defects recorded, indicating administrative re-tests rather than progressive deterioration. The odometer shows 177,644 miles against an estimated annual average of 7,724 for a 23-year-old Sprinter, placing use within typical bounds. Mileage moved from 172,789 in December 2022 to 174,646 by January 2024, a modest 1,857-mile gain over thirteen months, then rose 2,998 miles to 177,644 by May 2025. The record contains no entries between December 2022 and January 2024, leaving a sparse but unremarkable gap that suggests light commercial or intermittent use rather than sustained high load. The absence of recorded defects across all tests means the DVSA data raises no specific suspension bushes, brake disc, corrosion, or emissions concerns for this example. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath the chassis and around spring mounts, as 23-year-old Mercedes vans commonly suffer unseen rust despite passing annual tests. Verify the May 2025 fail-pass pair was a paperwork correction and not a concealed fault cleared without trace.
