Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution. This vehicle h
Given the 399,186 miles on the clock, you must verify the service history to determine if the engine or major drivetrain components have been refurbished. Pay close attention to the MOT history; the offside front wheel bearing has been flagged with 'slight play' in both 2024 and 2025, indicating the issue has not been rectified despite the passing grade.
Negotiate the price based on the immediate need for repairs. The recurring mentions of corroded brake pipes across 2022, 2024, and 2025 suggest a systemic issue that will likely require a full replacement of the brake lines to ensure long-term safety and compliance.
Running costs for this 2.1L diesel will be dominated by maintenance rather than fuel. With nearly 400,000 miles, the vehicle is likely to require frequent replacement of wear-and-tear items such as suspension bushings, brake discs, and bearings, all of which have appeared in recent MOT advisories.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, commercial vehicle tax, and insurance. Given the age and mileage, maintenance costs are expected to be significantly higher than average to keep the vehicle roadworthy.
Prioritise an inspection of the brake system; MOT records from 2022, 2024, and 2025 all highlight corroded brake pipes. Check the offside front wheel bearing for play, as this has been a recurring advisory for two consecutive years.
Inspect the engine bay and underside for oil leaks, which were specifically noted in the 2023 and 2025 tests. Additionally, check the condition of the rear anti-roll bar pins and bushes, as these were flagged as worn in both 2024 and 2025.
This white 2008 Mercedes Sprinter has a recorded mileage of 399,186 miles as of August 2025. While it has passed its last four MOT tests, the records reveal persistent issues with brake pipe corrosion, wheel bearing play, and oil leaks. It is a high-usage commercial vehicle showing significant wear across multiple systems.
Aggregate data is unavailable, but this specific vehicle's ability to reach nearly 400,000 miles indicates a durable base platform.
