2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · UG54 AMS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a recent history of clean passes. The most recent MOT conducted on 25 November 2025 at 140,672 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle currently meets the minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in early December 2023, the vehicle was rectified and passed the subsequent test later that month, suggesting that any identified issues were addressed promptly rather than representing a recurring mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 14-year-old commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with an 8,235-mile interval between the November 2024 and November 2025 tests, and a 4,383-mile gap between December 2023 and November 2024. This regular operation suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary neglect, which often leads to degradation of rubber seals and brake components in older vans. Given the lack of recorded defects in the last three tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for the Sprinter of this era. Although the MOT record is clean, the age and mileage necessitate a close look at the chassis for structural corrosion, particularly around the door arches and rear sills. You should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue, as these are the first components to fail on heavy-duty vehicles despite a clean MOT history.
