I think they started using the 4cylinder om 651 on sprinters after 2013.

Sprinter forum would be a great place to check for long term engine/emission issues

GLK 250
The newer Sprinters did use the "new" OM651 engine that our GLK250s have, but they were tuned down a bit.
Diesels love the open road and have the best longevity when run for miles and miles on end, steady RPMs and good oil pressure (of course all the while being serviced with the proper lubes and parts at specified intervals). They require maintenance but can generally last at least 200,000 miles before the engine becomes any kind of limiting factor; it's all of the other stuff around the engine that can (and usually does) go bad early.
I have no doubt my Bluetec will see a healthy 200k mile mark, only 80k to go.
