The 2019 Sprinter (third generation) is a common light commercial in Ireland and was sold in multiple wheelbase (L1–L4) and roof-height (H1–H3) variants — check which you’re looking at because payload and internal volume vary a lot. Most diesels from this era have DPF and AdBlue/urea emissions systems; the manual gearbox is robust but the clutch can be worn by heavy urban use. Remember commercial insurance and DOE testing are handled separately from private cars in Ireland.

• Clutch feel and release — manual Sprinters used on deliveries often need a replacement clutch by 150–250k km.
• DPF / EGR / AdBlue operation and dosing module — look for warning lights, recent regeneration history, and AdBlue leaks or faults.
• Signs of overload: rear-suspension sag, worn or sagging leaf springs, uneven tyre wear and mismatched tyre sizes/loads.
• Cargo area and bulkhead condition — check for floor corrosion, repaired patching, welded repairs or heavy racking damage.
• Side-door rollers/runners and rear-door seals/hinges — common wear points on used panel vans and expensive to replace if damaged.
