Our Verdict
Exercise caution due to the very high mi
Given the mileage of nearly 250,000, a rigorous mechanical inspection is essential. You should focus on the recurrence of the engine oil leak, which was noted in both 2023 and 2026; determine if this is a minor seep or a sign of more significant gasket failure. Negotiate the purchase price to account for the immediate need to address the steering rack play and shock absorber wear identified in the latest MOT.
Request full service records to verify how the vehicle has been managed over its high-mileage life. Pay particular attention to any evidence of major component replacements, such as the clutch or turbocharger, which are common wear items for diesel vans of this age and usage level.
Running costs for this 2143cc diesel engine will be dominated by fuel consumption and the increased likelihood of wear-and-tear repairs. While the Sprinter is known for its utility, fuel economy will vary based on load and driving style, and insurance groups for these vans can be significant depending on the driver's profile.
Maintenance costs are likely to be higher than average for a 2015 vehicle due to the high mileage. Expect to budget for more frequent part replacements in the suspension and braking systems. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, and anticipated maintenance, is approximately £1,800-£2,500.
Prioritise an inspection of the steering system and the nearside front shock absorber, as the May 2026 MOT specifically flagged 'slight free play' in the steering rack and shock absorber. These are safety-critical components that will likely require attention soon.
Carefully examine the engine bay and underside for the oil leak mentioned in the 2023 and 2026 records. Additionally, check the rear brake pipes for signs of corrosion or grease coverage, as this was a specific point of concern in the 2023 MOT test, even though it passed.
This red 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has covered 247,495 miles. The MOT history shows five tests recorded between 2022 and 2026, all of which resulted in passes. However, the most recent 2026 test and a 2023 test highlight recurring issues with oil leaks and wear in the steering and suspension systems.
