Mercedes MWB 316 CDI – 5-Cylinder Torque Converter Auto – A True Workhorse with Comfort & Reliability
The Holy Grail of Sprinters – Built to Last
This Mercedes 316 CDI MWB is the van that Mercedes used to make properly. If you’ve been searching for a van that’s reliable, durable, and still a pleasure to drive, you’ll know that finding a 5-cylinder, torque converter automatic Sprinter is like striking gold.
The newer 4-cylinder versions simply don’t compare—ask any mechanic. They’re known for injector issues, emission system headaches, and more electronic gremlins than you’d want to deal with. But this legendary 5-cylinder? It just keeps going, delivering smooth, torquey power and an automatic gearbox that doesn’t self-destruct like the newer 7G-Tronic or SprintShift systems.
Why This One? Because You Won’t Find Another
Sprinters of this era are becoming incredibly rare, especially in this spec and condition. Why? Because the people who own them refuse to sell them. Owners know that replacing one means spending far more for something far worse.
Factory Spec’d for Comfort & Convenience
Torque Converter Automatic – Proper, smooth shifts, no clutch actuator nightmares.
Air Conditioning – Rare on vans of this era.
Electric Windows & Mirrors – Because winding windows by hand is overrated.
Central Locking + Deadlocks – With two spare remote central locking keys and ignition keys.
Meticulously Maintained & Lightly Refurbished
Unlike many vans that have been run into the ground, this one has had the right care:
✔ Recently serviced in-house with genuine Mercedes parts.
✔ MOT advisory-free – No unexpected costs lurking around the corner.
✔ Light refurbishment by our in-house team – Keeping it presentable while maintaining originality.
Want to future-proof it? We offer underbody sealing for £475, ensuring longevity and rust protection.
Practical & Spacious – Perfect for Work or Conversion
This van isn’t just a workhorse—it’s an excellent camper conversion base too.
Usable Load Space: 3.3m from the back of the driver’s seat to the rear.
Standing Height: 1.86m – Even with proper insulation, you can comfortably stand inside.
Bulkhead Removed, Captain Seats Installed – More space, more comfort, more potential.
Investment, Not Just a Purchase
Yes, this van is not cheap, but try finding another one in this spec, condition, and mileage—they don’t exist. The market reflects the fact that these vans are so well-loved that owners aren’t parting with them. In 10 years, this will still be a sought-after classic, while newer Sprinters will be struggling with expensive repairs.
