2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · S6 UAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the history reveals a significant structural concern that demands close scrutiny. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 93,571 miles passed with only an advisory for a worn offside rear tyre, the trend is interrupted by a major mechanical failure. The failure in November 2023 due to fractures in the offside and nearside rear inner structure is critical. Although the vehicle passed a subsequent test two months later, such a structural defect indicates previous stress or advanced corrosion on the chassis that required significant repair. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. Between the 83,189 miles in December 2022 and 91,061 miles in January 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 8,000 miles, suggesting steady but moderate use. The low mileage relative to the age of the Sprinter often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals rather than high-frequency mechanical wear. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the rear chassis area to ensure the repairs following the 2023 structural failure were sound and are not currently recurring. The buyer should also examine the anti-roll bar linkage pins and bushes, which were flagged as worn in 2022. The front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored in early 2025, so a check of the current thickness and surface condition is necessary to determine if they have been replaced or are continuing to thin.
