2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · AV62 AHP

The MOT record for this 2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito presents an unusual profile. All tests, including two failures, show no defects recorded. The most recent test in August 2022 at 325,040 miles was a clean pass. However, this test is nearly four years old, leaving a significant gap in the vehicle's roadworthiness history. The maintenance trend appears stable based on the available data, but the lack of recent inspection is a concern. The mileage of 325,040 miles is high for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging over 23,000 miles annually. The odometer readings show consistent use: 307,613 miles in August 2020, 312,363 miles in August 2021, and 325,040 miles in August 2022. This pattern suggests sustained high-mileage operation, likely on motorways. The absence of any recorded defects across all tests is notable but does not guarantee the vehicle's current condition. Given the high mileage and the age of the last MOT, a buyer must arrange a fresh professional inspection. Focus on suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, which endure heavy wear at this mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for binding or excessive corrosion. The exhaust system and structural integrity also require close examination for rust. The clean MOT history is positive, but it offers no insight into the vehicle's state over the past four years.
