🚐 2005 Mercedes Sprinter Minibus – A True Blank Canvas for Your Dream Camper 🚐

Registration: WX05XXB | Mileage: 75,000 | Petrol  – Reserve Now with Just £500


🛠️ Professionally Recommissioned & Ready for Its Next Chapter

Sourced directly from a local council authority, this 2005 Mercedes Sprinter 414 started life as a specialist disabled-access minibus, where it was pampered with regular servicing and kept in impeccable mechanical condition. Since arriving at Base Van, we’ve removed the original internal bus seating and heavy lift system, lightening the load and creating a clean, modular space ready for your conversion project.

With its incredibly low mileage of just 75,000 and petrol engine (no DPF headaches!), this van represents a rare opportunity to own a solid base that’s tough, timeless and ready to go.


🧰 Key Conversion Features Already Included:

  • Leisure Battery Pre-Installed

  • 🔆 Ceiling Lighting

  • 🌤️ Factory Skylight

  • 🔥 Eberspächer Petrol Heater (Engine-Independent Heating)

  • 🚐 Fully Lined with Wipe-Clean Interior

  • 🔧 18mm Marine Ply Subfloor with Heavy-Duty Steel Tracking System


📏 Space, Practicality & Customisation Potential

  • 🛏️ Interior Standing Height: 1860mm — comfy for those up to 6ft tall

  • 📦 Rear Load Length: Just over 4 metres

  • ↔️ Internal Width: 2m+ (ideal for transverse bed setup)

  • ⚖️ Current Down-Plated Weight: 2760kg (760kg payload for standard licenses)

  • 🔩 Option to Replate Back to 4600kg: Unlock a massive 1840kg payload for full-time living setups or heavier builds


🚀 Why This Van is a Rare Find:

This van blends old-school reliability with modern conversion potential. Its petrol engine avoids the complicated emission systems found in newer diesel vans (goodbye DPF & AdBlue issues) and could even benefit from ULEZ exemptions or lower emission charges down the line.

Plus, it’s fitted with an LPG tank, reducing running costs further. Pair that with a 5-speed manual gearbox and RWD configuration, and you’ve got a mechanical platform that’s been proven to outlast many of today’s “smart” vehicles.

And yes – it’s been serviced and has an MOT until March 2026 with zero advisories.
