Our Verdict
A solid option for those needing a diese
When inspecting this Sprinter, your primary focus should be the oil leaks noted in the 2024 MOT record. Specifically, check around the engine, gearbox, and rear differential to ensure any previous leaks have been professionally rectified and are not currently active.
Additionally, verify that the track rod end issues identified in 2022 and 2023 have been resolved with new parts. Given the age of the vehicle, ask for evidence of any recent mechanical work related to these specific components to ensure the steering remains precise.
As a 2.1L diesel, running costs will be dictated by payload and usage. Expect moderate fuel economy typical for a large van of this era. Tax and insurance groups will vary based on your specific usage and driver profile, but Sprinters are generally positioned in mid-range insurance groups.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes commercial vehicles can be higher than for smaller vans due to the cost of genuine parts. Budget for regular servicing and potential repairs to suspension or drivetrain components, which have appeared in the MOT history.
Start by inspecting the underside of the engine, gearbox, and rear differential. The 2024 MOT record flagged oil leaks in these areas; even if the 2025 and 2026 tests passed without defects, you should check for any fresh weeping or dampness.
Check the front steering components. The MOT history shows a pattern of track rod end ball joints having 'slight play' in both 2022 and 2023. Ensure there is no excessive play in the steering when the vehicle is stationary and that the steering feels tight and responsive during a test drive.
This 2007 blue Mercedes Sprinter with the 2.1L diesel engine has covered 106,709 miles as of March 2026. The MOT history shows a relatively clean recent record, though it has faced issues with track rod ends and oil leaks in previous years. Its mileage is significantly lower than typical for a commercial vehicle of this age.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific Mercedes Sprinter model to provide a comparative benchmark.
