All figures in miles per gallon (UK). “Owners report” is the spread of individual submissions for that engine.
What does yours actually do? Read it off the trip computer over a full tank or work it out from litres and miles. No postcode, no sign-up. The more people add, the better the averages get, and this page stays free.
Owners report an average of 29.3 mpg across all Mercedes-Benz Sprinter engines with data, about 85% of the official combined figure. The engine tables on this page give the figure for each engine and generation.
Official figures come from a laboratory test cycle, not the road. Cold starts, short trips, hills, load, tyres and driving style all cost fuel the test does not see. A gap of 10 to 30 per cent is normal; a much bigger gap on one engine usually points at a fault, a heavy right foot, or a diesel that never gets warm.
The site closed in August 2026 and its Real MPG section went with it. This page is where the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter figures now live: rebuilt from the archived dataset, with the official figures kept alongside, and reopened for new submissions.

If you used the Honest John Real MPG section before the site closed in 2026, this is where the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter figures now live. The owner-reported averages above were rebuilt from the archived dataset (archived page, 2026-06) alongside the official NEDC and WLTP figures and new submissions from CarAdCheck readers, and the section is open so they keep improving. Real-world figures also feed the running-cost estimate in our free advert check.
