Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Focus on the service history to ensure the engine has been maintained despite the low annual mileage. Given the reports of perishing tyres and corrosion on the leaf spring brackets, check if the vehicle has been stored in a damp environment or left stationary for long periods, as this can lead to the degradation seen in the records.
Negotiate the purchase price based on the immediate need to replace the tyres and address the corrosion mentioned in the June 2026 MOT. Ensure that the lighting issues noted in previous tests have been permanently resolved rather than temporarily patched.
The 2143cc diesel engine is built for commercial efficiency, though actual fuel economy will vary based on load and usage. Tax and insurance costs will depend on the specific weight category of this Sprinter and the driver's profile, though these typically fall into moderate commercial brackets.
Maintenance costs will likely include the replacement of commercial-grade tyres and regular servicing of the diesel particulate filter (DPF), especially if the vehicle is used for short urban trips. The estimated annual cost covers fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance.
Closely inspect the rear leaf spring shackle brackets for the corrosion noted in the June 2026 MOT to ensure it has not progressed beyond the 'not seriously weakened' stage. Check the condition of all tyres, specifically the nearside front and offside rear, as the MOT records them as cracking or perishing, which can be a safety risk.
Verify the operation of all external lighting, including the side repeaters and rear direction indicators, following the failure in 2023 and the position lamp advisory in 2026. Check the windscreen wiper blades for splits, as noted in the 2025 record.
This 2017 white Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has covered only 52,587 miles, which is significantly lower than typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. The MOT history shows five tests since registration, with one failure in 2023 due to tyres and lighting. The most recent test in June 2026 highlights emerging corrosion on the rear leaf spring shackle brackets and perishing tyres.
No aggregate data is available for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, but this specific vehicle has a consistent record of passing MOTs with only minor defects.
