2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · SB67 AFU

The 2026-06-18 test was a PASSED run at 116,659 miles, indicating the vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a significant deterioration trend that has worsened since the 2024-07-12 test. The most recent failure occurred on 2026-04-27 at 116,652 miles, confirming that the vehicle has not recently been maintained and that the condition of the car has deteriorated over the last six months. The mileage pattern is characterized by rapid accumulation, with the vehicle averaging approximately 12,962 miles annually, which is high for a 2017 model. This accumulation suggests that the owner has maintained the vehicle with a high frequency of use, likely involving frequent short trips, which accelerates wear on suspension components, brakes, and drivetrain parts. The gap between the 2026-04-27 failure and the 2023-06-09 test highlights a critical vulnerability: the car has failed twice on the same critical system (brakes) within a short period, indicating that the owner has likely skipped basic upkeep routines for these components. Given the recurring faults and the high mileage, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify and address specific mechanical risks. The most immediate concerns are the brake disc and pad contamination, the oil leak, and the fluid leak in the rear shock absorbers, all of which have been flagged as serious issues. Furthermore, the front and rear lower suspension arms exhibit slight play, which may indicate worn bushings or bearing issues that could lead to suspension failure. The buyer should also verify the condition of the front and rear position lamps and the parking brake lever, as these components have been found to be non-functional or misadjusted. Finally, the presence of a structural rust problem on the rear bumper and the cracked tire suggest that the vehicle may require urgent professional repair to prevent catastrophic failure.
