Excellent review - the only thing missing really was the security issue. All these infotainment upgrades and electronic gadgets are of little use if the contents of the van can be easily stolen. Like the rest of the commercial vehicle sector, scant attention is given to the physical security of the vehicle. Quality of the mechanical locking systems, their placement and resistance to being compromised are not given the importance they warrant. Ask any operator or tradesman - it's at the top of the list. On top of the cost of a new van budget at least £400 -500 for lock upgrades - it's money well spent.
The opening hatch in the bulkhead you refer to is only really a requirement on smaller vans that need to carry building materials that are 3 metres in length like CLS timber or copper pipes. Medium and long wheelbase Sprinter vans therefore don’t need it.
Also on a side note. Thanks for such a comprehensive review/cover, it was thanks to watching your video that I made such a decison. Best review on you tube for this vehicle. For refrence I bought it from East London Mercedes benz van centre.

An excellent review.
Great to hear you enjoyed the review, Tom! Many thanks for watching 👍
I just bought a nearly identical one. It is an awesome van to say the least. Crafter is nice but that 3 spoke star in the front and back ;).
Great choice, its that popular for good reason. hope you enjoy the new van Huseyin.

That three spoke star will be on the back until the doors rust off it at least 😂
let's see how you feel when you get your first repair bill!
@@bid84 I think that they put better rust protection now
Mercedes know what they're doing when it's comes to making vehicles that drives and looks better than most cars
This is the BEST review yet! Will you be updating it on the newer duel wheel Sprinters 3500XD? THANK YOU! ☺
Thanks
There’s 4 generations of sprinter!!!
what are they like after 3 or 4 years of doing 100k pa if you can stop them being stolen
Your title says 2018 but actually it’s 2019+
Does this van have an electronic handbrake?
Hi Tom, the Sprinter has an optional E parking brake for £324.00. Get in touch if you need more information www.osv.ltd.uk/contact-us/
no, you open your door and drag your foot on the ground to stop
My 60k c63 had some on that switch gear FFS lol

That Guy’s middle name is Sprinter
you should have worn black shoes.
and probably changed his underwear
Nobody cares about what he wears we here to look at the van and listen to his review not judge his shoes and underpants!
