The 412D-9044 3/403 is a version from 1996, the year in which the Vario family from Mercedes-Benz also reached the market. The code 3/403 distinguishes the entry from the other vehicles in the series. The diesel engine delivers 90 kW from 2,870 cm³.
The outer dimensions of 6,550 mm length and 2,110 mm width make it the narrowest among the sister models listed here; the slim body helps in tight lanes and on building-site approaches. The kerb weight of 2,700 kg lies between the light and the heavily bodied variants, and the permissible gross weight is 4,600 kg. The vehicle shows how much one and the same type designation can vary once body builders fit box bodies, flatbeds or special superstructures and shift dimensions and weights.
Mercedes-Benz 412 D – the upper weight class of the first Sprinter generation: five-cylinder OM 602 diesel with 90 kW, 4.6-tonne gross weight, unladen weights from 2,310 to 3,310 kg
The Mercedes-Benz 412 D belongs to the first Sprinter generation, which Mercedes-Benz introduced in 1995 as the successor to the T1 van and built at the Düsseldorf plant and in Ludwigsfelde. The type designation follows the light-commercial-vehicle scheme of the time: the first digit names the weight class, the following two the power step, and the D the diesel engine. The 412 D therefore stands for the range's upper weight class with the five-cylinder OM 602 diesel.

The register lists here 6 versions with 90 kW from the five-cylinder diesel of 2,870 cm³, unladen weights from 2,310 to 3,310 kg at a gross weight of 4,600 kg, lengths from 6,550 to 6,900 mm and widths from 2,090 to 2,220 mm.
The Sprinter established a self-supporting body and permanent rear-wheel drive as a new concept in the van and light-truck segment and quickly became the benchmark of the class up to 5 tonnes; in North America Mercedes-Benz sold it from 2001 under the Freightliner Sprinter name. The 412 D, as one of the heaviest versions of the first generation, targeted trades, furniture removal and small haulage firms.
On a used example, rust at the wheel arches, sliding-door tracks and floor pan, the condition of the injection pump and turbocharger of the OM 602, wear on the clutch and gearbox under continuous use, and brakes and suspension under high payload count; spare parts run through the Mercedes-Benz commercial-vehicle network.
