Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
The most critical point for a buyer is the stagnant mileage; the vehicle has not recorded any additional miles for over two years according to the MOT history. You should investigate why the vehicle has been stationary and check for issues associated with long-term storage, such as perished rubber seals or battery degradation.
Negotiate the price based on the need for immediate consumables. The January 2025 MOT specifically flagged tyres that were nearly ten years old and worn anti-roll bar pins and bushes. Ensure these have been replaced despite the clean April 2026 pass, as age-related tyre degradation is a safety concern regardless of tread depth. Request a full service history to verify if the engine was maintained during its period of inactivity.
As a 2.1L diesel commercial vehicle, fuel economy will be typical for a van of this era and size. Insurance costs will vary significantly depending on whether the vehicle is used for private or commercial purposes, and it will fall into a higher tax bracket than a standard car.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average due to the vehicle's age (16 years). Expect to budget for the replacement of aging suspension components and tyres, as highlighted in the 2025 records. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,800.
Prioritise an inspection of the tyres; the 2025 MOT explicitly mentioned tyres close to ten years old, which can lead to cracking and failure. Check the anti-roll bar pins and bushes on both the nearside and offside rear, as these were previously flagged as worn.
Examine the windscreen for the damage noted in January 2025 and check the headlamp lenses and rear reflectors for the defects listed in the same record. Finally, because the vehicle has been stationary for a long period, inspect the brake discs for heavy corrosion and check all fluid levels for contamination or degradation.
This silver 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a 2.1L diesel engine has recorded 53,117 miles. The MOT history shows a clean pass in April 2026, but a January 2025 test revealed a failure for a fog lamp and a significant list of advisories including worn suspension components and aged tyres. Notably, the recorded mileage has remained static at 53,117 miles from February 2024 through January 2025.
Aggregate MOT data for this specific model is unavailable, but the 2.1L engine is a common configuration for this era of Sprinter.
