I recently acquired a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter registered in January 2020. It's a 2.1T diesel mid-wheelbase luxury version with 14 seats, meeting China V emission standards, and is a non-commercial vehicle. The odometer reads just over 10,000 kilometers. It's in its original paint and has never been in an accident. It's been upgraded with double roof racks, four operable windows, diesel heater, solid wood flooring, streaming rearview mirror, and independent front and rear air conditioning. It's practically a brand new car, with all the necessary paperwork and transfer included!
Basic perception functions (like Adaptive Cruise Control ACC, Lane Keeping Assist LKA, and Automatic Emergency Braking AEB) rely on the vehicle's local radar and cameras, and can operate normally overseas. However, advanced features that heavily depend on high-precision maps and cloud data (like Navigation on Autopilot NOA and Full Self-Driving FSD) cannot be activated overseas.
To prevent intermittent failures due to aging of the resistance wire, we will start the engine and set the seat heating/ventilation to maximum for at least 5 minutes, confirming significant temperature changes or airflow output in the cushion and backrest using an infrared thermometer or body sensor.
As rubber seals age, "slight oil seepage (oil stains but no dripping)" is very common in used cars and is not considered a major fault. Our recommendation is: as long as the oil level does not drop abnormally, just clean and monitor it regularly after arrival, without the need to immediately incur high costs to disassemble and replace the seals.
