Our Verdict
A solid option for those seeking a high-mileage workhorse with a recent history of clean MOT passes. Proceed with caution regarding the high mileage, but the recent test results are encouraging.
When considering this 2.1L diesel Sprinter, your primary focus should be on the service history. While the MOT records from 2024, 2025, and 2026 show no defects, an MOT is not a substitute for a full mechanical service history. Ask for evidence of regular oil changes and component replacements, particularly for a vehicle that has exceeded 160,000 miles.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at nearly 170,000 miles, certain heavy-duty components like the clutch, turbocharger, and fuel injectors may be nearing the end of their typical service life. Ensure you check for any signs of heavy loading or commercial wear that might not be captured in a standard MOT test.
Running costs for a large diesel van like this Sprinter will be higher than a standard passenger car. Expect higher fuel consumption due to the 2143cc engine and the vehicle's weight, alongside higher insurance groups typical for commercial vehicles.
Maintenance costs can be significant; while parts for Mercedes-Benz are widely available, they can be more expensive than those for budget van brands. Budget for regular servicing and potential heavy-duty component replacements. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated to be substantial.
Given the high mileage of 168,484 miles, pay close attention to the suspension and braking components. Although no defects were recorded in the 2026 MOT, high-mileage vans often show wear in bushings, shock absorbers, and brake discs.
Inspect the underside of the vehicle for signs of corrosion or leaks, as these can sometimes be missed if they are not significant enough to trigger an MOT failure. Additionally, check the engine bay for any evidence of oil leaks around the 2.1L diesel unit, which is vital for long-term reliability at this mileage.
This 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, finished in white, has covered 168,484 miles since its first registration in October 2013. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passing tests over the last three years without recorded defects. While it has high mileage for its age, the most recent records suggest it has been operating without immediate mechanical failures appearing on the MOT certificates.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for this specific Mercedes-Benz Sprinter model.
