Mercedes Sprinter CDI 519 4×4

The base vehicle is the chassis of the Mercedes Sprinter from the proven W906 series, known for its smooth-running and high-torque 6-cylinder engine.

On the road, the Mercedes Sprinter offers the comfort of a passenger car, and thanks to its very tight turning radius, it remains agile and maneuverable even in narrow towns or on winding mountain roads. Off paved paths, it impresses with reliability and robustness.

The vehicle meets the Euro V standard and therefore does not require AdBlue. The chassis is designed as a 5-ton version and has been modified with super-single tires, with an approved gross vehicle weight of 5.5 tons.

Maintenance & Condition

We are the sole owners of this vehicle. It was built from the start for long-term travel and has been used exclusively by us.

The vehicle is not MOT-certified, which is unavoidable and common during multi-year international travels.

All maintenance has been performed regularly, and wear parts have been replaced as needed. Key components were proactively replaced before reaching their typical service life. Additionally, the solar panels have been upgraded to the latest high-efficiency technology.

Known issues

The vehicle is free of rust and water damage and is in very well-maintained condition both technically and visually.

There are visible surface scratches on the sides from contact with shrubs and branches. These scratches are not deep but have caused the paint in those areas to appear slightly dull. Could likely be polished out with the right treatment.

The hood has a few minor stone chips from regular road use. These are purely visual and do not affect functionality.

Additionally, there is a hand-sized area with scratches on the upper right rear corner, caused by contact with a tree. This area has been locally repainted. The repair was done properly, but it remains clearly visible upon closer inspection.

There are currently no other known issues. In particular, there are no technical or structural defects – only the cosmetic wear and tear as described above.
