Our Verdict
A strong option for those seeking a low-
Given the exceptionally low mileage for a 2013 diesel van, you should verify the service history to ensure oil and filter changes were performed according to the manufacturer's time intervals, even if the mileage intervals were not met. Check for any signs of long-term inactivity, such as perished rubber seals or battery degradation.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle; while the mileage is low, components like timing belts, tyres, and brake fluid degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Ensure all these age-related consumables have been addressed.
The 2143cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency, though actual fuel economy will vary based on the vehicle's load and usage. As a 2013 model, it will fall into a standard diesel tax bracket for its age and weight class.
Insurance groups for the Sprinter can vary significantly depending on whether the vehicle is used for commercial purposes or as a private conversion. Typical maintenance for this engine size is moderate, though parts for Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles can carry a premium over budget brands.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension. The MOT failure on 2026-01-26 specifically identified excessively worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front shock absorbers; verify that these were replaced and not simply patched.
Additionally, inspect the chassis and underbody for corrosion. Despite the low mileage of 55,995, vehicles from 2013 are susceptible to rust depending on the environment they were stored in. Check the wheel arches and sills for any signs of bubbling or structural decay.
This 2013 white Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has recorded only 55,995 miles over its 13-year lifespan. The MOT history shows consistent passes from 2023 to 2025, with a single failure in early 2026 regarding front shock absorber bushes that was resolved within 24 hours.
Aggregate data is not available for this model, but this specific vehicle has demonstrated a consistent ability to pass MOT tests over the last four years.
