2013 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · RJ62 ADU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record over the last three years. The most recent test on 13 January 2026 at 133,024 miles resulted in a pass with no defects, following an initial failure on the same day that recorded no specific faults. This suggests an administrative error or a minor sensor issue that was rectified immediately, as the vehicle has maintained a clean-sheet history across all previous annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a commercial-use vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 10,200 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 116,333 miles and January 2026 at 133,024 miles, the vehicle covered 16,691 miles, showing a steady usage pattern of roughly 5,500 to 6,500 miles between test intervals. This steady mileage indicates regular operation, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and mechanical components compared to vehicles that undergo long periods of standing. While the MOT history is clean of recurring advisories or failures, a physical inspection must focus on common wear points for a Mercedes Vito of this generation. Given the 133,000-mile mark, the buyer should scrutinise the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which often degrade under heavy loads. The chassis requires a check for structural corrosion, particularly around the mounting points and floor pans, as the MOT tester does not always flag surface rust until it reaches a structural threshold. Checking the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear is also advisable to ensure the high mileage has not led to accelerated mechanical wear.
