This Sprinter 515 has a first-time MOT pass rate of just 50.5%, well below the UK average of 80%, which is a serious red flag for reliability. The dangerous defect rate sits at 1.7%, which is reassuringly low, but the fundamentally poor pass rate suggests these vans are presenting repeated issues across multiple test attempts.
At a median mileage of 26,965 km for a 2022 model, these are lightly used vehicles, yet they're still failing their MOTs at double the typical rate—indicating the problems aren't wear-related but something more systemic. With only 0.08 failures and 0.3 advisories per vehicle on average, the issue appears to be concentrated in a smaller subset of vans rather than widespread across the fleet. If you're considering one, get a full pre-purchase inspection from a Mercedes commercial specialist and dig into its individual test history, rather than relying on the model's average.
