Mercedes Sprinter kopen

Which Sprinter configuration suits your business?

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is one of the most versatile commercial vehicles on the market and is offered in four main variants. The van is the most popular choice for couriers and installers thanks to its enclosed cargo area and low step-in height. For transporting pallets or large volumes, a box truck with a separate body is a good choice, often equipped with a tail lift for easy loading and unloading. If you transport temperature-sensitive goods such as meat, flowers, or medicines, a refrigerated truck with an insulated body and cooling unit is the logical choice. If you want to have a specific body fitted yourself, such as a crane or a special container, you start with a chassis cab.

Sprinter dimensions: L1 to L4 and H1/H2 explained

The length and height code of a Sprinter determines how much cargo space you have. L1 is the shortest wheelbase and suitable for city driving and narrow streets, while L4 is the longest variant with maximum load length for large shipments or multiple pallets in a row. H1 is the lowest roof height, practical if you regularly need to park in parking garages; H2 allows you to stand upright in the cargo area, which considerably simplifies loading during intensive daily use. If you are torn between two sizes, look not only at your current load but also at your company's future growth, as a van that is just too small will eventually cost more than the price difference for a size up.

Buying a Sprinter or financial lease: what suits your situation?

With a purchase, the Sprinter immediately becomes your property and you have no ongoing obligations, which is attractive if you plan to use the van for more than five years or drive relatively few kilometres. Financial lease spreads the investment over a term of up to 72 months and keeps your working capital available for stock, staff, or other investments; even as a start-up or self-employed entrepreneur without a long track record, you often qualify. If you drive a lot of kilometres and want to periodically switch to a newer Sprinter, leasing is generally more cost-effective than saving up for a new purchase. If you have a current commercial vehicle, it can often be traded in and offset against the new purchase or lease instalment.

What should you look out for with a used Sprinter?

Always check the maintenance booklet and ask about the most recent major service, as the Sprinter has typical points of attention at high mileages, such as the particulate filter and the turbo. With a box truck or refrigerated truck, also check the condition of the body and, if present, the operation of the tail lift and cooling unit separately from the engine. Always take a test drive and listen for unusual noises when shifting gears and braking, and check the tyre set including the spare wheel or tyre repair kit. A Sprinter that is delivered APK (MOT/TÜV) approved and ready to drive, as with Tatev Auto, saves you unexpected costs right after purchase.
