2015 24SR Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Class C
The pre-purchase inspection of this RV begins with the exterior. After a moderate search, I found few noteworthy problems with this RV. Overall, its condition is good. The paint, clear coat, side graphics, and decals all look very well maintained. The function and performance of the two slide outs, awning, exterior lighting, and compartment locks and hatches are all fine. However, the washer lines are not connected to the wiper arms, and there's a misalignment between the right front bumper and the body fender. Additionally, there are a couple of minor scratches on the passenger side, and the rear bumper shows some scratches and cracking in the bumper material. Two small dings are present on the hood. The tires, hug-a-lugs, and rim simulators are in good shape, although the rim simulator is missing on the R/R. Finally, there are some cracks in the caulking on the rear roof.
Now moving on to the interior. All the furnishings are in good condition. There is some normal wear on the driver’s captain chair. Every standard and optional onboard amenity on this RV functioned as designed, from the diesel generator to shore power. The gas cook-top and refrigerator also functioned properly. I found no noticeable wear and tear anywhere except for a small stain on the mattress and some marking or staining on the shelf under the kitchen sink.
Moving on to the engine bay, which houses the Mercedes-Benz 3.0 V6 diesel. The engine oil was clean and at the proper level, and I found no leaks of engine or transmission fluid. The undercarriage appeared clean overall. However, there is evidence of slight rodent damage at the cabin air intake box. The exhaust shows some minor surface rust, but currently has no leaks and sounds good. It's worth noting that only one key fob was shown during the inspection.
Finally, the road test which was performed by the seller as I sat in the passenger seat. The engine started right up with no evidence of smoke from either the tail pipe or engine compartment. The engine acceleration was smooth and strong. The braking performance is smooth and firm. Cruising speeds were approximately 45 MPH on the Almaden Expressway. It is noteworthy to mention that this RV delivered a quiet ride compared to others that I have inspected with very little interior vibration and rattling. The cruise control functioned well. The steering tracked straight and did not drift. The braking performance was firm with no evidence of braking pedal pulsation. The cruise control functions well.

This Inspection Report is governed by the terms and conditions of the order which were accepted by you at the time of placing the order and which are available at https://lemonsquad.com/terms and which contain important information, disclosures, disclaimers, limitations on liability and mandatory arbitration. This Inspection Report is for the sole and exclusive use of the Customer named above and may not be used or relied upon by any third party including, without limitation, any purchaser of a vehicle from Customer.
Without limiting the Limited Warranty, Disclaimers, Limitations on Liability and Dispute Resolution provisions of the terms and conditions (available at https://lemonsquad.com/terms), there are no implied or express warranties or guarantees of any kind in connection with any vehicle inspection. The vehicle inspection is intended solely as an “evaluation” of a given vehicle’s condition at the time, date and place of examination. Wrench Inc., and its affiliates including LemonSquad, specifically disclaims any liability for any loss or damage arising in connection with ownership or operation of said vehicle and further disclaims any liability of any hidden wreck, flood damage or tampered components not readily apparent upon visual inspection. The items visually inspected were in the reported condition listed in the report at the time of the inspection only. A visual inspection will not identify the working condition of each and every vehicle part or component, nor will a visual inspection identify any or all missing, tampered or altered components. Intermittent component or systems issues or failures may not present themselves at the precise time of inspection and/or a vehicle may be tuned in a manner to mask or minimize any such issues; in either case, such intermittent issues may not be discoverable during inspection. Further disclaimed is any liability for any damage or defects not found during inspection. Other conditions may exist which did not occur or appear during inspection. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the vehicle to be inspected is in a state in which the vehicle is legal to drive on public roads, safe and functioning well enough to start and drive, and located in a space that is accessible and allows the inspector full access to vehicle components. Vehicles that are not safe, legal, or in a running condition will not have a test drive performed.
