4 How it compares with other 2018 Sprinters

Against every Mercedes-Benz Sprinter first used in 2018 and tested in Great Britain in the 2025 test year (1,272 first-attempt tests) — the most recent full year available.

MeasureThis carTypical 2018 SprinterWhat it means
Pass rate, first attempts5 of 7 (71%)81.2% in 2025Lower than the group figure
Fails, first attempts2 of 713.8% of first testsHigher than the group figure
Fixed during the test (PRS)05.0% of first testsNone on this record
Mileage at its latest test (24 Sept 2026)373,849 miles88,695 (middle half 51,027–145,294)Above the middle half; more than twice the upper quarter
Clean passes (no advisories)3 of 754.5% of first testsLower than the group figure

"Typical" is every Mercedes-Benz Sprinter first used in 2018, any fuel or use — not adjusted for mileage. This car's figures are from its own record only. A first attempt is any test not within 10 days after a failed test of this car. A first attempt whose faults were all put right during the test counts as fixed during the test (PRS), not as a fail, as in DVSA's figures.

Check before you buy — for this car

  1. On this carBrakes. major item, advisory recorded in the last two years (2021, 2022, 2025). Worth looking at the discs and pads through the wheel spokes for scoring and a worn lip, and noticing on a test drive whether the car pulls to one side or the pedal feels long.
  2. On this carSuspension & steering. major item, advisory recorded in the last two years (2021, 2022, 2025). Worth looking behind each wheel with a torch at the coil springs and bushes, and listening for knocks over bumps on a test drive.
  3. On this carTyres. dangerous item, advisory recorded in the last two years (2025). Worth checking the tread depth across the whole width of each tyre, and the sidewalls for cuts, cracks and bulges.
  4. On this carLamps & visibility. advisory, minor item recorded in the last two years (2021, 2022, 2025). Worth asking someone to watch while you work every lamp and indicator, and checking the wipers clear the screen cleanly.
  5. Nothing recentExhaust & emissions. A top failure area for 2018 Sprinters. Nothing on this car’s record. Worth checking that the engine warning light goes out after starting, and noticing any smoke from the exhaust.

About this page

This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government sources: DVLA (loaded when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA") for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel, emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here identifies the keeper.

What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer guide on the free car check.

The DVLA and DVSA data on this page contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. SortedCars is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the DVLA or DVSA.

This page shows vehicle information only — no keeper details and no vehicle identification number. Built on 5 November 2026 from the DVSA bulk MOT record as of 27 September 2026; DVLA fields load when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA".
