Our Verdict
A strong recommendation based on excepti
The primary focus for a buyer should be the braking system. The MOT history shows a trend of wear and efficiency issues, specifically pitted discs in 2024 and marginal parking brake efficiency in 2025. You should negotiate the price based on the likely need for a full brake service, including potential disc replacement and parking brake adjustment.
Given the low mileage for a 2011 commercial vehicle, check the service history for evidence of regular oil changes regardless of distance covered. Ensure that the vehicle has not spent prolonged periods stationary, as this can contribute to the pitting of brake discs and the degradation of rubber components.
The 2143cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency under load, though tax and insurance will be reflective of its commercial classification and age. Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles tend to be higher than budget alternatives, particularly for genuine parts.
Annual costs will include diesel fuel, road tax, and insurance. Based on the vehicle's age and engine size, you can expect a moderate annual spend on consumables and routine servicing to keep the low-mileage engine in working order.
Carefully inspect the brake discs for the pitting and scoring noted in the November 2024 MOT. Test the handbrake on a gradient to verify the efficiency that was flagged as 'only just met' in the December 2025 test. Any lack of firmness in the pedal or lever should be addressed.
Additionally, check the nearside front track rod end, which was noted for having slight play in 2022. While it passed the MOT, this is a common wear point. Finally, inspect the silver paintwork for any corrosion, which is common in vans of this era, despite the low mileage.
This 2011 silver Mercedes-Benz Sprinter features a very low recorded mileage of 58,681 miles as of December 2025. The vehicle has passed its last five MOT tests without failure, although the records show a recurring pattern of braking-related advisories. It represents a rare example of a 2.1L diesel van of this age with such low usage.
Aggregate data is not available for this specific model, but the individual history of this vehicle shows a consistent ability to pass MOT tests.
