Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to the exceptio
Given the 315,977 miles on the clock, the primary focus should be on the remaining life of the 2143cc diesel engine and transmission. You should request detailed service records to verify the frequency of oil changes and whether major components, such as the timing chain or DPF, have been replaced.
Negotiate the price based on the high mileage and the likelihood of imminent wear-and-tear repairs. Ensure any recent work mentioned by the seller is backed up by invoices, as MOT passes only confirm the vehicle met minimum safety standards at the time of testing.
Running costs for this Sprinter will be influenced by its high mileage and diesel engine size. Fuel consumption will vary depending on the load, but maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average as the vehicle reaches a stage where major mechanical overhauls are common.
Annual costs will include commercial vehicle tax and insurance, which vary by usage and driver profile. Typical maintenance for a high-mileage diesel van includes regular filter changes and monitoring of the emissions system.
Pay close attention to the braking system, specifically the offside rear, following the 2023 MOT advisory for a binding brake. Check the condition of all tyres, as the 2023 record noted an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit.
Perform a thorough inspection of the chassis and underside for corrosion, which is a common concern for commercial vehicles of this age. Check for oil leaks around the engine and transmission, and verify the operation of all exterior lighting following the 2024 failure of the nearside rear position lamp.
This silver 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has recorded 315,977 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The MOT history shows five tests since 2022, including one minor failure for a position lamp and advisories regarding brake binding and tyre wear in 2023. The vehicle's usage is very high relative to its age.
