Description

This 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 310 CDi is a hardworking and dependable panel van that balances everyday usability with commercial capability. The 2.1-litre diesel engine and rear-wheel-drive setup deliver a composed driving experience, especially when carrying heavier loads, while the long-wheelbase, high-roof layout provides generous interior space for bulky cargo and easy loading.

Well-suited to business or trade use, the Sprinter feels robust on the road and practical to operate, with a straightforward manual gearbox and comfortable cab for day-to-day runs. It’s an honest, no-nonsense van offering sensible running costs and a versatile platform for a wide range of tasks.
