Mercedes Benz SPINTER

The register lists here 8 versions with four- and six-cylinder CDI engines of 70 to 135 kW and 2,140 to 2,987 cc, kerb weights from 1,750 to 3,100 kg, gross weights from 3,550 to 3,880 kg, lengths from 5,910 to 7,350 mm and widths from 1,930 to 1,993 mm.

This series is among the most widely used light commercial vehicles in Europe, as a panel van for parcel and courier services, as a base for minibuses and motorhomes, and as a tradesman's workshop vehicle; it competes directly with the VW Crafter, Iveco Daily and Ford Transit, and its wide spread of wheelbases and roof heights offers a suitable body variant for almost any commercial purpose.

When buying used, check the sills and rear doors for rust, the condition of the turbocharger and injection system on the common-rail diesels, timing-chain wear at high mileages, and brakes and suspension given the high gross weights; parts run through the dense Mercedes-Benz van service network, which also supplies original parts to independent workshops.
