Daimler-Benz – other vans: from the L 319 and Lo 2000 through the Bremen-built T1/T2 to the Spanish-built MB 100, four and six cylinders, 1,884 to 2,998 cm³, up to 3,500 kg gross weight
This page gathers Mercedes-Benz vans the register could not assign to a named range, from the L 319 and Lo 2000 predecessors of the 1950s through the Bremen-built T1 and T2 range (1977–1995) to the MB 100, built in Vitoria, Spain, in the 1990s. In classic Mercedes type logic, the first digits give the weight class in hundreds of kilograms and D the diesel model – 207 D, for instance, the 2.7-tonne class, 310 D the 3.1-tonne class.

The register lists here 27 versions from four- and six-cylinders of 1,884 to 2,998 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 1,437 to 4,030 kg, gross weights from 2,770 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 4,730 to 6,225 mm and widths from 1,845 to 2,360 mm.
The van predecessors and the T1/T2 range laid the groundwork for today's Sprinter family and in their time covered the whole spectrum from panel van to minibus to tipper chassis; the MB 100, in turn, was Mercedes's answer to Spanish competition in the lower market segment and remained technically distinct alongside the large van programme.
On a used T1/T2 model, rust on the wheel arches, sills and floor pan – classic weak points of the range –, the condition of the engine and clutch, and the increasingly limited availability of body parts count; on the MB 100, additionally the electrics and timing belt, on the older predecessors originality as the decisive value criterion.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
