2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · WD64 TVT

The vehicle failed its most recent MOT test on 2022-12-30 due to issues including an inoperative engine MIL, a defective nearside rear reflector, and a play in the nearside front steering rack inner joint, indicating a worsening maintenance trend compared to the previous pass on the same day. The vehicle has accumulated 577,777 miles over approximately 12 years, averaging around 48,148 miles annually, which is significantly higher than average for a vehicle of this age. Notably, there is a large gap between the 2021-12-29 test at 485,756 miles and the 2022-12-30 test at 577,777 miles, suggesting either very high usage during that period or potential odometer manipulation. The previous test in 2020-12-22 showed issues with the central brake pipe and a nearside front suspension arm ball joint, indicating ongoing wear and tear. A buyer should inspect the steering system, particularly focusing on the steering rack and joints, to ensure there is no excessive play or damage. The brake system, especially the central brake pipe area near the fuel tank, should be thoroughly examined for signs of corrosion or leaks. Additionally, the suspension components, such as the ball joints, need careful assessment for wear or failure. The rear reflector should be checked for any damage or missing reflective surfaces, as it failed the inspection recently. Overall, given the high mileage and recurring issues, a comprehensive mechanical inspection is advisable before purchase.
