2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 315 Progressive CDI 1.9L Diesel · SV71 KXW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT test on 14 January 2026. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the lack of specific recorded defects for the initial failure entry suggests either an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before retest. The maintenance trend appears stable, as no recurring mechanical faults or escalating structural advisories have been flagged across the two recorded testing intervals. The mileage profile is exceptionally high for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging over 35,000 miles per year. Between the January 2025 test at 102,941 miles and the January 2026 test at 141,772 miles, the Sprinter covered 38,831 miles in a single year. This rate indicates consistent long-distance use or heavy commercial application, which typically accelerates the wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components compared to average private use. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and braking system given the rapid mileage accumulation. The inspector should check for worn suspension bushes, leaking shock absorbers, and signs of premature heat scoring on the brake discs and pads. Because the MOT history shows no advisories despite the high mileage, the chassis should be examined for structural corrosion or stress fractures to ensure the high-intensity use has not compromised the integrity of the frame.
