I have owned a Sprinter van since the second year they offered the 4x4 option. I would give it a grade of B. We have had trouble with DEF (NOX) sensor problems as well as frozen DEF lines. We are not unique; I believe that these are noted problems with the diesel Sprinter Vans. Service centers in the Mountain West area can be few and far between. I don't know about other regions in the country. Be sure that can have the Sprinter van readily serviced before purchasing one. Not all is bad with the Sprinter. With that being said, I am now looking at the Ford Transit as a replacement because it is now offered with AWD (a minimum where I live) with a gasoline engine. A 4x4 sprinter can only be had with a diesel engine (or so it was when we purchased ours.)
