Thorough Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI): Essential due to potential for heavy commercial use and Mercedes-specific components.

Check for Rust: Pay close attention to wheel arches, door sills, and undercarriage, as rust is a common issue.

Review Service Records: Look for evidence of regular oil changes, DPF/EGR maintenance, and transmission fluid service.

Inspect DPF/EGR System: If possible, get a diagnostic scan to check the health of these emissions systems, especially on diesel models.

Test Drive Laden and Unladen: Assess ride quality and handling both empty and with a simulated load if possible.

Verify Mileage and Usage: Commercial vans often have high mileage or hard use; confirm odometer accuracy and previous owner type.
