Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Verify the full service history to ensure oil changes and filter replacements have been carried out, as MOT records do not confirm mechanical maintenance. Given the 2.1L diesel engine, check for evidence of DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) health, especially if the vehicle is intended for short urban trips.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and brake pads, which may be nearing the end of their life despite passing the most recent test. Ensure all documentation for the vehicle's history is present to support the low mileage recorded.
The 2143cc diesel engine offers a balance of power and efficiency typical for the Sprinter range, though actual MPG will vary depending on the load carried. Annual costs will include commercial vehicle road tax and insurance, which can be higher for larger vans.
Maintenance costs for Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles tend to be higher than budget alternatives due to parts pricing. Expect a higher spend on genuine components to maintain the vehicle's longevity.
While the MOT history shows no defects, inspect the chassis and wheel arches for corrosion, which is a common concern for vehicles of this age. Check the operation of the sliding doors and rear loading area for wear and tear that would not necessarily trigger an MOT failure.
Pay close attention to the clutch and gear transitions to ensure there is no slipping or hesitation. Additionally, check for any leaks around the engine bay, as the MOT only records safety and emissions failures rather than general oil leaks.
This red 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has recorded four consecutive MOT passes between 2022 and 2025. With 78,363 miles on the odometer as of October 2025, the vehicle has seen relatively low usage for its age. The MOT history is notably free of both failures and advisories across all recorded tests.
Specific aggregate reliability data is unavailable for this model, but the individual record for this vehicle is clean.
