Are you a fan of: Well all Fire Service Vehicles really!

Reliability?

Convenience?

Adblue free, older vans?

4x4? Modest mileage?

If so, look no further than this fantastic 2002 Mercedes sprinter!

Past life

Bought from the fire service, this van looks to be a very well looked after vehicle, with only 89 thousand miles in 21 years! (160k below average!)

Size

Medium wheelbase, standard roof… optimal if youre wanting to access any gated car parks across the country, and small enough to just about squeeze into a parking spot, however still big enough to fit a spacious camper conversion in the rear, if you would wish to do so, this comes with a compromise, however, to our taller customers with the standing height being somewhat sub-optimal, however if you are of the vertically challenged variety like myself, this is a win win situation.

Mechanical

This vehicle comes with Mercedes' solid 2.2cdi engine, which is known for its workhorse like reliability, with another benefit being the better fuel economy when compared to its 2.7L, 5 cylinder diesel counterpart. By now you probably will have seen that this is a 44 sprinter, which can be toggled from 4WD to RWD for enhanced versatility. Paired with the robust 5 speed Mercedes gearbox, this is really the ideal setup for a robust basevan of your dreams.

Inspection

With this vehicle currently yet to arrive in stock, we have not had the chance to inspect it yet… however, once this is done, we will update this area with more information!

Warranty

This is a very important and unique aspect of our business.

During COVID when are business really took-off, we began using third party warranty providers such as the AA or Warranty wise. Which is so often adopted by dealers that don't have the necessary facilities to satisfy the demands of second hand vehicle break-downs.

We found them to be very ineffective and unwilling on the whole, so being dissatisfied with this service we decided to look inwards. We invested further into our own facilities to ensure we could accommodate any issues with your vehicles in house. Resulting in better custom service given our ability to respond quicker and get you back on the road

We have even built accommodation for our full time van lifers in case of emergency! One step ahead, always.
