Our Verdict
A solid, well-maintained example of a 2018 Sprinter that has consistently passed its MOTs. While the mileage is high, the lack of major failures suggests a vehicle that has been kept in good working order.
Given the high mileage of 142,055, your primary focus should be on the service history. Ensure that oil changes have been performed at regular intervals and check for evidence of a timing chain or belt replacement if applicable to this 2.9L engine variant.
Negotiate based on the 2025 advisories regarding the engine mountings. While they were not deemed failures at the time, they are wear-and-tear items that may require replacement soon to prevent increased vibration and further mechanical stress.
As a 3.0L diesel, this vehicle is designed for heavy-duty use, but fuel economy will be modest, especially when fully loaded. Being Euro VI compliant, it avoids the heaviest daily charges in ULEZ and CAZ zones, which is a significant cost saving for a commercial vehicle of this size.
Insurance for a Sprinter can vary wildly depending on the body conversion and usage. Combined with the road tax for a large diesel and the maintenance requirements for a high-mileage engine, you should budget for a higher-than-average annual spend.
Pay close attention to the engine mountings, as both the nearside and offside were flagged as damaged (though not to excess) in May 2025. Check for excessive engine rock during startup or gear changes.
Inspect the rear lighting clusters to ensure the fog lamp issue noted in the 2025 MOT has been rectified. Additionally, given the 142,000-mile odometer reading, check the suspension bushings and brake wear, as these are common high-mileage wear points for the Sprinter chassis.
This yellow Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has covered 142,055 miles since September 2018, averaging roughly 20,000 miles per year. The MOT history is impressively clean, with only minor advisories noted in 2025 regarding engine mountings and a rear fog lamp. Its Euro VI status ensures it remains compliant with major UK low-emission zones.
The Sprinter is generally regarded as a robust commercial workhorse, though reliability at higher mileages depends heavily on strict adherence to service schedules.
