? 2005 Mercedes Sprinter – Ex Fire Service Minibus (YJ55LSY)

If you’re looking for a rugged, no-nonsense base vehicle that’s built to last — this is the one. Straight out of fire service duty, this minibus has clearly lived a pampered life and is now crying out for its next mission — camper conversion, community transport, off-grid base, or anything you dream up.

?️ Proven Platform – Legendary Sprinter Setup
This vehicle runs the older, bulletproof Sprinter tech — simple, reliable, no DPF, no AdBlue, just dependable German engineering. Paired with the rock-solid 5-speed manual gearbox and 110bhp engine, you get the balance of good pulling power and fuel economy. Capable of towing up to 2.8 tonnes!

? Fire Service Maintenance
At just 95,000 miles, it’s barely run in for a van of this class. Fire service vehicles are maintained meticulously, and this one’s no exception. Check out the chassis and underside — it’s immaculate!

✅ Key Highlights:

• Twin captain seats up front

• Simple pre-AdBlue tech for fewer issues and lower maintenance

• Spare keys included

• 311 BHP model (mapped potential)

• Interior capacity for up to 13 seats

• Full-length side windows – ideal for conversions or community use

• Load length: 3.4m

• Standing height: approx. 1.6m

• Internal width: 1.74m

? Condition Notes:

The body and structure are rust-free with tidy panels and doors — rare for this age.
Only flaw? The headliner near the ceiling fan has staining (likely from age/moisture) — but this is easily replaced or cleaned. Most of our customers opt to remove the fans when converting anyway.

? Value? Unreal.

This van is priced at £7,250 + VAT — that’s £8,700 all-in for a rock-solid platform.
