2004 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 213 CDi 2.2 turbo diesel
Summary:
Rubbish
Faults:
This car is real garbage. There are parts in it that are useless, impossible to maintain because you do not know they exist, but they can disable the vehicle even in the middle of driving (for example "start error") and whose repair will cost you a lot of money. The Mercedes Sprinter is the garbage I want to get rid of.
General Comments:
Extremely poor quality of the vehicle, all the quality is contained in the engine and transmission, everything else - bodywork, interior, plastic parts, rubber hoses, very poorly made of bad material. I think poor performance is planned to force you to buy a new car after 15 years of use. I am very disappointed with this famous brand and I never want to invest a penny in any Mercedes vehicle again.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Numbers are in kms - 180,000 kms = 110,000 miles, it's really low miles for a work vehicle that is supposed to take you well past 200,000 miles. These german made cars are troubled and expensive to fix. Mercedes quality is only a myth.

For personal vehicles, Mercedes is a prestige thing. For work vehicles the prestige thing is obviously absent so you are left to deal with the complex, expensive and troubled german engineering. Nothing fancy about this brand as a van.

17 years old, 180K mileage... sounds fair enough to me. Can't ask for much more than that out of any vehicle. Mercedes were definitely in a quality downturn during the early 2000's however (rust, and other issues were common on most vehicles).
