Mercedes-Benz Sprinter as a van up to 3.5 tonnes – panel van, combi and crew cab in the light registration class: four- and six-cylinder CDI engines, 60 to 140 kW, rear-wheel and four-wheel drive
The Sprinter has been Mercedes-Benz's large panel van since 1995, and in this light registration class it covers vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes gross weight. The type designation follows a fixed factory logic: the first digit gives the weight class, the next two roughly the output in steps of ten horsepower – in this class the values run from 210 to around 320. KSV stands for panel van, DKA for crew cab, CHS probably for a chassis variant; RWD and 4X2 denote rear-wheel drive, AWD/4X4 four-wheel drive, AUT and MAN the automatic or manual gearbox.

The register lists 256 versions with 60 to 140 kW output, displacements of 1,796 to 2,999 cm³ across 4 to 6 cylinders, unladen weights of 1,840 to 3,325 kg, gross weights of 2,695 to 3,550 kg and lengths of 5,200 to 7,750 mm at 1,900 to 2,600 mm width.
In this class the Sprinter competes with the Ford Transit, Volkswagen Crafter, Iveco Daily and Renault Master as a panel van for courier, trade and passenger work up to 3.5 t, for which an ordinary car licence suffices in many countries.
On used examples, check rust at the sliding-door rails and load-sill edge, condition of the turbocharger and injectors on the CDI engines, clutch wear on courier vehicles with frequent stop-starts, function of the tow hitch on combi versions, and whether the stated payload matches actual use.
