Our Verdict
A solid consideration for those needing a large van, provided the high mileage is acceptable. The recent MOT history shows no defects, suggesting the vehicle has been kept roadworthy in its most recent inspections.
When inspecting this Sprinter, focus on the high mileage, which averages roughly 13,700 miles per year since its first registration in January 2014. While this is consistent for a commercial vehicle, you should check for signs of heavy load wear, such as suspension sag or excessive tyre wear.
Ask the seller for evidence of regular servicing, as the MOT history only confirms roadworthiness at the time of testing and does not provide a complete picture of mechanical maintenance. Given the 2.1L diesel engine, check for any signs of turbocharger issues or injector wear, which are common considerations for high-mileage diesel vans.
Running costs for this Sprinter will be influenced by its size and diesel engine. Fuel economy will depend heavily on load weight and driving style, but as a large commercial vehicle, expect higher consumption than a standard car.
Insurance groups for Mercedes-Benz Sprinters tend to be moderate to high depending on the driver profile and cargo use. Maintenance costs should be budgeted for more frequently due to the 164,935 miles already covered, particularly for consumables like brakes, tyres, and suspension components.
The MOT history for LS63AZL shows a failure in January 2025, though no specific defect was listed in the summary provided; you should ask the seller exactly what caused that failure to ensure it was properly rectified.
Physically inspect the chassis and underside for corrosion, which is a common concern for older commercial vehicles. Check the condition of the heavy-duty suspension components and the braking system, as these are critical for a vehicle of this age and mileage. Additionally, verify that all load-carrying surfaces and door seals are in good working order.
This 2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a high-mileage diesel workhorse, currently showing 164,935 miles on the clock. While the mileage is significant for a 12-year-old vehicle, the MOT record is relatively clean, with no defects recorded in the most recent 2026 test. The vehicle has a history of passing its tests, despite a single failure recorded in January 2025.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Mercedes-Benz Sprinter model to provide a statistical comparison.
