Mercedes-Benz – other models: a collective page of transporters and grey-registered vehicles outside the named ranges, from the 230E and 300GE through Sprinter, Vito and V-Class to ML/GLE
This page gathers Mercedes-Benz vehicles the register could not assign to a named range – including the 230E (W123 series) commercially registered as an estate with grey-market registration as a light commercial vehicle, as well as the off-road 300GE. The larger part consists of current transporter and van ranges: the Sprinter in the 211 CDI and 316 CDI versions, the Vito as a panel van, Tourer and Business Van, the V-Class and Viano as passenger carriers, and the ML and GLE as SUV ranges.

The register lists here 29 versions from four- and six-cylinders of 1,950 to 2,987 cc, unladen weights from 770 to 2,710 kg, gross vehicle weights from 2,055 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,670 to 2,170 mm.
The breadth of this collective page shows how differently Mercedes-Benz occupies the field between passenger car and light commercial vehicle: from a classic business saloon with grey registration, through a rugged off-roader, to a modern panel van and people carrier for trades, passenger transport and small businesses.
Buying a used example, different points matter by model: on the 230E and 300GE corrosion and the condition of the drivetrain, on the Sprinter and Vito wear on the turbocharger and injection system of the CDI engines, and on all models brake and running-gear condition relative to mileage and use profile. Parts run through Mercedes-Benz's regular dealer network.

What to check before buying
