This is the Sprinter everyone’s looking for: a 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 4×4, high roof with the shorter 144” wheelbase, custom ordered from the factory in rare windowless crew spec. Finished in Graphite Grey Metallic, this van is more than just a blank canvas—it’s the final and most refined version of the NCV3 (906) generation, widely praised for its mechanical simplicity, proven drivetrain, and long-term reliability. With only 44,000 original miles:
Factory Highlights:
-
3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel (OM642) – Time-tested for durability and torque
-
5-Speed Automatic Transmission (NAG1) – Known for longevity and smooth shifting
-
True 4×4 system with low range – A rare, sought-after feature for off-road use
-
Heated front seats and rear windshield wipers – Hard-to-find comfort options
-
Factory crew layout – Includes second-row bench seat and full factory insulation
-
Factory cargo area lining – Durable protection for the floor and walls

This Sprinter has had one careful California owner since new, has always been garage kept, and is 100% rust-free. The van shows pride of ownership throughout, with clean bodywork and a spotless, well-preserved interior.
Why the NCV3 Matters:
Many Sprinter enthusiasts prefer the 2007–2018 NCV3 generation (model code 906) over the newer VS30 (907) introduced in 2019—and for good reason. The NCV3 combines modern safety and refinement with a more analog, proven mechanical foundation. The OM642 V6 diesel and 5-speed NAG1 transmission are regarded as a “bulletproof” pairing—free from the teething issues, more costly emissions systems, and more complex electronics found in later models.
Unlike the newer VS30, which introduced the more complex 7-speed transmission and a suite of drive-by-wire systems, this NCV3 is simpler /cheaper to service, less prone to electrical gremlins, and has already earned a loyal following for long-haul reliability, especially in expedition and camper use. The 2016-2018 model years represent the final and most refined iteration of the NCV3 platform, making this van a sweet spot in the Sprinter timeline.
Why It’s Special:
This is not your average ex-fleet van. With thoughtful factory options, no windows in the cargo section, durable factory lining, and a clean, garage-kept history, this van is a premium example of the most desirable Sprinter configuration available: short-wheelbase, high-roof, factory 4×4, NCV3. Whether you’re planning a camper build, family adventure hauler, a mobile workshop, or a weekend overland rig, this is the van you want to start with.
