UK

This 2000 Mercedes Sprinter 413 CDI is a significantly unreliable proposition by MOT standards: only 2.2% pass first time, compared to the UK average of 80%. At nearly 24 years old, these vans are running at an average of 445,463 miles, which is extremely high mileage for the age and explains much of the failure rate—expect repeated visits to the garage for repairs.

The good news is that serious mechanical failures are rare (0.07 per vehicle on average) and no dangerous defects have been recorded, but the sheer number of minor issues across this elderly fleet means running costs will be considerable. If you're considering one of these vans, budget heavily for remedial work before purchase and factor in ongoing maintenance; this is a vehicle for someone with mechanical sympathy and a deep wallet, not a bargain buy.

MOT statistics not available

We have 122 2000 Mercedes Sprinter 413 CDI vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
