2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · RJ62 ABX

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The January 2026 test at 171,076 miles passed cleanly with no advisories, confirming the vehicle entered the current year in sound tested condition. Prior examinations in January 2025 at 164,759 miles, January 2024 at 158,448 miles, January 2023 at 148,432 miles, and January 2022 at 141,445 miles all returned passes with no faults flagged. Mileage accumulation sits at roughly 12,220 miles per year against a fourteen-year service life, placing this van above average use for its class. The records show consistent annual increments of around 6,000 to 10,000 miles between tests, with no standing gaps or abrupt spikes that would suggest irregular operation. At 171,076 recorded miles the drivetrain and running gear have absorbed substantial load, yet the absence of advisories implies previous owners addressed wear items before each examination rather than deferring them. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the high mileage, as these components accumulate fatigue invisible to a clean MOT sheet. Structural corrosion around sills and chassis members warrants close scrutiny despite no tester flags, since the Vito's age makes hidden rust plausible. Verify service history for gearbox and differential oil changes, as the omissions would not surface in MOT data but directly affect longevity at this mileage.
