Understanding Mercedes Sprinter depreciation is essential for budgeting and forecasting. Depreciation curves for Sprinters differ from passenger cars because of the heavy‑use nature of commercial vans. Below is a realistic breakdown based on industry data:

• First year: typically loses 15-20% of its value, as newer models introduce updated tech and safety.
• Year 2–3: depreciation slows, often 5-8% per year, provided the van stays serviced.
• Year 4–6: further decline of 3-5% annually, assuming normal wear.
• Beyond year 7: values plateau but can still drop by 1-3% every two years, mainly due to engine wear, paint fade, and model updates.

These figures reflect trend data across North America and Europe, and the exact depreciation depends on conditions such as mileage, maintenance records, and market demand. If you’re looking at a 1996 model, anticipate a stronger drop in its early years—its first‑hand mileage can decrease it by quite a margin. Yet many Sprinters survive well into the 2000s without major resurfacing or engine overhauls, thanks to robust build quality.
