Mercedes Benz 412D-9044

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.
