Why Mercedes-Benz Sprinters end up off the road
- Chronic rear wheel arch, sill and door bottom corrosion on the 906
- OM651 injector and timing chain issues
- Rear axle and differential wear on heavily loaded vans
- Automatic gearbox conductor plate faults
- AdBlue and emissions sensor faults on later 907s
Parts that still hold value
- Engines and gearboxes with recorded history
- Long-wheelbase and high-roof body panels
- Rear axles and prop shafts
- Luton bodies, tail lifts and ply lining
- ECUs and instrument clusters
What moves the offer up or down
- Tail lifts and refrigerated bodies add real value — mention them
- 3.5t chassis cabs and recovery bodies are worth more than plain panel vans
- Corrosion is the biggest single downward factor on the 906
Common questions
- My Sprinter failed its MOT on corrosion — will you still buy it?
- Yes. Structural corrosion is the most common reason a Sprinter comes to us and it does not stop us collecting.
- Does a tail lift increase the offer?
- Usually yes, provided it is working or repairable. Tell us at valuation stage.
