Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1 2009

5 star review

I have a 59 plate Sprinter via motability that has lift on the rear, an electric side door, cruise control as well as many extra’s. It’s a 2.1 auto and has only 14000 miles from new. It’s got loads of room and has chairs that can fold up or down as needed. I find that the 2.1 is under powered as trying to maintain 70 mph can be a bit of a struggle, but then again it’s a van not a car and wasn’t built for speed. Would I recommend this van? Well yes I would as I haven’t had any problems with the van what so ever and I am getting around at 30 to 35 mpg on a diesel, so again value for money. My friend has the 2.5 Renualt Master and he hates it as it’s so heavy on fuel and wants to change it for a Sprinter. As I am tall sat in a wheelchair the Sprinter was the only option for me.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter LWB 2009

3 star review

My 09 sprinter has 35k on the clock and going from 1st to 2nd gear feels stiff and has a slight crunch feel and on starting the van every now and again the dash and the whole van shakes as if it has snapped its engine mounts. Had a service done at Merc dealer 4 weeks ago still waiting for them to get back to me they seem to be saying it’s wear and tear!! Surely this should be covered by warranty?

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 316 CDI 2009

5 star review

This is by far the very best van you could buy. It has never let me down and I do nearly 40,000 P/A (and I ain’t even a courier). I only keep vans for three years (max) and I’ve had numberous other Sprinters before this one with the previous model a latest generation 56reg which was exceptional. I must admitt I was a bit worried about the inital costs so I waited for a second hand one to come onto the market, yet it was only two months old and still on a 59 Reg, so overall I’m delighted. The van is very comfortable for long journeys, good MPG, decent handling for a van and goes like stink if you really floor it...which I do. Am I going to buy one next time, YES!

5 star review

This is the third Sprinter I’ve had and I would never consider any other van. It may be initally expensive to buy but it’s worth every penny!! My old one was a 313 and in 5 years covered 290k miles, trouble free. My new one has 5 years free service as well. The new shape has more cubic volume space and is much more faster and comfortable, also it has an auto gearbox which makes it more of a dream!

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 515 LWB Luton 2009

1 star review

I have a Mercedes Sprinter 515 LWB Luton with a 2.2 engine and an auto box. It’s doing only 15.9 mpg, my other Sprinter would give a return of 21 mpg. Do not buy the new model, low emissions, poor to the gallon.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Sprinter LWB 311 2009

3 star review

This is the second Sprinter we have bought in two years. We courier around Europe and cover around 120,000 KL per year. The first sprinter has now covered 120,000 klm’s during which time we have had to have the rear wheel bearings replaced, the hydrolic power steering pump. The sliding door handle broke off and it has been back to the garage three times to have the fuel gauge replaced. The second Sprinter purchased in Jan 2009 has covered 34,000 klms and although driven by a careful driver the engine oil needs refilling every 11,000 klms. According to Mercedes this is within the normal expected operating limits of the van. They are nice vans to drive, a bit revy but don’t think because it has the star on the front they are free from problems.

Not a good van, gear box went on the motorway, if you want a good point of advice don’t buy one. It is the best way to save money, need to pay 2k to get it fixed again
