2014 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · J911 CYK

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz Vito presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at 163,434 miles in the November 2025 test. The most recent examination recorded no defects, and the preceding October 2024 pass at 150,409 miles also showed a clear sheet. Three consecutive annual passes with no advisories indicate the operator addressed wear before each test and kept the van to a sound standard. Mileage sits high for a twelve-year unit at 163,434 recorded miles, averaging roughly 13,620 per year. The jump from 125,425 miles in October 2022 to 134,789 miles in September 2023 shows near 9,400 miles in eleven months, then a modest 264-mile gap to the October 2023 pass at 135,053. Annual accumulation stayed consistent through 150,409 in 2024 and 163,434 in 2025. The only blemish is the September 2023 failure at 134,789 miles, yet the record lists no defects, implying an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse history gives no recurring advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or structural corrosion across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the front subframe, rear spring mounts, and brake calipers given the mileage. High annual use wears trailing arm bushes and exhaust hangers even when testers log nothing. The single 2023 failure with no defects recorded warrants a check of the original refusal reason with DVSA. Otherwise the van's test lineage suggests disciplined upkeep by the prior keeper, with no evidence of skipped consumables or ignored structural risk.
