Our Verdict
A cautious recommendation for those need
Given that this vehicle has covered very few miles over the last three years, potential buyers should be alert to issues associated with prolonged inactivity, such as perished seals or battery degradation. You should request a full service history to determine if maintenance was kept up during its period of low use, as MOT passes do not confirm the mechanical health of the engine or gearbox.
Negotiate based on the vehicle's age and the fact that it has exceeded 170,000 miles. Ensure that any recent repairs, such as the track rod end replacement noted in the 2024 MOT, are documented with invoices.
As a 2.1L diesel, fuel economy will be typical for a commercial vehicle of this era, though efficiency may vary based on the vehicle's load and body configuration. Tax and insurance costs will depend on the specific weight class and the driver's profile, but this model generally falls into a mid-range insurance group for vans.
Maintenance costs for a high-mileage Sprinter can be significant, particularly regarding suspension components and diesel particulate filter (DPF) health if the vehicle has not been driven on long runs recently. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,800.
Pay close attention to the offside front suspension and steering assembly; although the track rod end was a cause for failure in January 2024, these components often wear in clusters. Check all external lighting, specifically the dipped beams, to ensure the previous electrical failure was fully resolved.
Because the mileage has remained almost static since 2023, inspect the brakes for signs of corrosion or seizing and check the tyres for flat spots or cracking. A thorough check of the underbody for corrosion is also recommended given the vehicle's 2010 registration date.
This white 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has a recorded mileage of 173,869 miles. MOT records from 2023 to 2026 show a consistent pattern of passes, with only one failure in January 2024 involving a headlamp and a track rod end. Notably, the vehicle has covered only 1,290 miles between January 2023 and January 2026, indicating very low recent usage.
