2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 314 Progressive CDI 2.1L Diesel · WR71 KPN

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-07 at 65,085 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the preceding test on 2026-01-06 at the same mileage failed without recorded issues. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded remedial work. The 2025-01-03 tests at 49,750 miles similarly show a pass and fail with no defects listed, reinforcing a pattern of ambiguous MOT outcomes. Overall, the maintenance trend lacks clarity, with no definitive evidence of recurring mechanical issues or improvements. The vehicle’s mileage of 65,085 miles at 5 years old equates to approximately 13,017 miles annually, significantly higher than average for its age. This rapid accumulation raises concerns about accelerated wear on components such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and drivetrain elements. The gap between the 2025-01-03 test (49,750 miles) and the 2026-01-07 test (65,085 miles) reflects a 15,335-mile increase in 12 months, which could indicate heavy usage or infrequent servicing. The absence of defect records in these tests limits insight into structural or mechanical degradation during this period. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn coil springs or bushings, given the high mileage, and verify brake functionality, as excessive use can lead to uneven disc wear or caliper binding. The lack of corrosion reports in the MOT history does not preclude hidden rust, particularly in the chassis or body seams, which may require a detailed underbody examination. Additionally, the repeated failed tests without recorded faults warrant verification with the DVSA or previous owners to confirm if repairs were completed.
