Quick summary

Total: 251 cars

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter has an overall defect rate of 72 defects per 100 vehicles, which is slightly above the average of 70 per 100 for the same year. Notably, the eSprinter excels in the categories of brakes, wheels, suspensions, and axles, showing significantly fewer defects than the average car. However, it faces challenges with steering, lights and electrics, and body structure, where defect rates are considerably higher compared to the average. Mileage trends indicate that vehicles with lower mileage (up to 62,000 miles) exhibit a higher defect rate than the yearly average, suggesting potential issues that may arise early in the vehicle's lifespan. Overall, while the eSprinter performs well in certain areas, it also has specific weaknesses that warrant attention.
