2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · RJ62 AAZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-09-18 at 163,301 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, the preceding test on 2024-09-16 at 163,276 miles recorded a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting potential inconsistency in testing or minor issues unresolved. The prior MOTs from 2023 and 2022 show a pattern of passing and failing on the same date with identical mileages, which may reflect procedural errors or unaddressed minor faults. Overall, the trend lacks clarity but does not currently indicate worsening mechanical conditions. The vehicle’s mileage of 163,301 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 11,664 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident in the MOT history, which spans from 2022 to 2024 with consistent annual intervals. The absence of defects in the 2023-09-12 and 2022-09-14 tests suggests routine maintenance was performed, though the 2022-09-13 failure at 154,560 miles—mirroring the same mileage as the subsequent pass—raises questions about testing accuracy or unresolved minor issues. A buyer should verify the suspension system, particularly suspension bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant inspection for wear, as recurring MOTs may mask gradual degradation. Structural integrity should also be assessed, as rust or corrosion could affect longevity. While the MOT records show no critical defects, the inconsistent failure outcomes highlight the need for a hands-on evaluation to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
