2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Diesel · WM65 HFB

The most recent MOT from August 2025 was a pass, though it noted minor defects with the windscreen wiper and a registration plate lamp. The vehicle shows a concerning pattern of recurring mechanical issues. There have been repeated advisories regarding play in the steering rack inner joints and worn anti-roll bar bushes. More significantly, the 2024 and 2023 tests highlighted multiple oil weeps from the differential, gearbox, throttle valve seals, and rocker cover. The condition trend appears stable but degraded. While the most recent tests are cleaner, the history of multiple oil leaks and steering wear suggests a vehicle that has been worked hard. At nearly 150,000 miles, the mileage is high for its age, implying significant wear on the drivetrain, suspension, and consumables. A buyer should first inspect the steering rack for play and check the engine bay and underside for active oil leaks, specifically around the gearbox and rocker cover. Ensure the anti-roll bar bushes have been replaced, as these were flagged as worn across multiple years.
