The prestigious award is based on feedback from the UK’s leading leasing companies and fleet operators, who assess manufacturers and vehicles based on reliability performance over the previous 12 months. Judging focuses on the average number of days vehicles spend off the road due to unplanned mechanical issues, making this a true reflection of real-world fleet performance.

The Sprinter secured the top spot thanks to its exceptional durability, quality and long-standing reputation for dependability. In fact, the model has consistently ranked among the top two vans for reliability over the past 12 years and now reclaims an award it last won in 2023.

Judges also recognised Mercedes-Benz Vans for its continued commitment to supporting fleet customers through ongoing investment in vehicle technology, customer services and its innovative Uptime Promise programme. Designed to identify and address potential issues before they lead to vehicle downtime, the initiative helps keep businesses moving while minimising disruption and operating costs.

Mercedes-Benz Vans was also ranked second for its support of UK fleets and leasing companies, further demonstrating the strength of its customer-focused approach and dealer network.
