Our Verdict
Approach with caution and a thorough inspection before purchase. This 2010 black Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has a high mileage and a history of MOT failures, though it currently holds a clean pass.
Given the 2023 failures for brake pipe corrosion and an inoperative engine management light, insist on evidence that these were properly repaired rather than temporarily masked, as the stop lamps were noted as covered with tape and paint at failure. A full service history is essential for a 2143cc diesel Sprinter of this age and mileage to confirm timing chain, injector, and DPF condition. Use the recorded defects to negotiate on price, as the 2025 sill corrosion and past brake issues suggest upcoming body and brake system expenditure.
As a 2010 diesel Sprinter with a 2143cc engine, this van will fall into a higher Vehicle Excise Duty band for older diesels and likely an elevated insurance group due to commercial classification. Fuel economy on a well-maintained example is reasonable for the size, but urban use with a loaded van will increase consumption. Based on mileage of roughly 132,000 miles and typical diesel van maintenance, estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance, and servicing are around £2,500-£3,200.
The MOT history shows brake pipe corrosion flagged in September 2023 and offside rear sill mounting corrosion noted in February 2025, so physically inspect all brake lines and the rear sill areas for rust progression. The September 2023 failure listed an engine MIL indicating a malfunction and rear reflectors damaged by over 50%, plus stop lamps masked with tape and paint, so verify the dashboard has no warning lights and all lamps function correctly. With 132,559 miles recorded, check the condition of the turbo, clutch, and suspension bushes given the age and noted suspension mounting corrosion.
This November 2010-registered Sprinter (YW07EVA) has covered 132,559 miles as of its January 2026 MOT, which is high for a 15-year-old van but typical for commercial use. The MOT history shows two failures in 2023 for items including brake pipe corrosion, engine warning light faults, and defective lamps, though all were addressed by the September 2023 pass. A 2025 pass noted corrosion to the offside rear sill mounting area, which is worth monitoring.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter to draw on for this guide.
