The Mercedes Sprinter 311 CDI Mwb has an overall MOT pass rate of 68.0% across 964 real MOT tests — roughly in line with the UK average.
The most common problems on the Mercedes Sprinter 311 CDI Mwb are centre brake pipe excessively corroded front to rear (2 recorded failures), brake excessively fluctuating (2), and brake pipe excessively corroded under bottom of engine bay, inside the nearside arch (1). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.
A typical Mercedes Sprinter 311 CDI Mwb owner drives around 4,385 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.
Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
