2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · T22 KBE

The 2025-08-13 MOT at 79,687 miles confirms the 2016 Mercedes‑Benz Sprinter remains roadworthy, with only minor advisory items recorded. The same track‑rod end ball joint play and anti‑roll‑bar linkage wear that appeared in the 2024 and 2023 tests persist, indicating a stable wear pattern rather than worsening condition. Mileage has progressed from 21,120 miles at the 2019 test to 79,687 miles by August 2025, averaging roughly 7,969 miles annually, which is typical for a ten‑year‑old van. However, the jump from 53,723 miles in September 2023 to 70,043 miles in September 2024 reflects an accumulation of about 16,300 miles within a year, suggesting a period of heavier use that may have accelerated wear on consumables. A buyer should therefore examine the front suspension components, especially the track‑rod end ball joint and anti‑roll‑bar linkage pins and bushes, for excessive play or corrosion, and inspect the near‑side rear tyre for edge wear close to the legal tread depth. Overall, the vehicle shows consistent minor wear on suspension linkages and a recent spike in mileage, so a thorough physical check of those areas, along with verification of tyre condition and any hidden corrosion, is essential before purchase.
