Just because it's a Mercedes Diesel doesn't automatically make it a good engine. That engine suffers from fatal issues after 100,000 miles and it has to do with the smog control systems. Nox sensors are failing that will cost at least $500 to fix, then the EGR valve will fail about the same time and it will cost only about $1,000 to fix, while all this is going on the SCR Cat converter will fail which will cost about $2,000. In a lot of cases the entire exhaust system clogs up and must be replaced at a cost of $6,000! The average cost to drive this MBZ diesel is 10 cents a mile vs 2 cents per mile for either the Dodge Ram Pro Master or the Ford Transit. Maintenance cost like a simple oil change will cost you $200 to $400 depending on the MBZ dealer but the Dodge and Ford will only cost $40 to $50; just the first 100,000 will cost a MBZ owner $1700 to $4000 vs the Dodge or the Ford that will cost $300 to $400.

Stay away from the MBZ diesels.
