2013 MERCEDES-BENZ VITO2.1L Diesel

The Mercedes-Benz Vito presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 30 July 2025 at 151,404 miles, with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend across the available five-year history remains stable, showing no advisories or mechanical faults. The test on 22 July 2025 at identical mileage returned a failure yet listed no defects, an anomaly suggesting administrative or procedural irregularity rather than a deterioration in condition. Subsequent re-test eight days later cleared the vehicle cleanly. Recorded mileages trace a consistent annual usage pattern. The tester logged 122,082 miles on 6 September 2022, rising to 134,946 by 29 August 2023, then 143,425 on 12 July 2024, and finally 151,404 in July 2025. This equates to roughly 8,000 to 13,000 miles per year, marginally below the vehicle's 11,646 average for its age. No extended gaps appear between tests; the owner maintained statutory testing discipline. Sparse defect data implies previous keepers addressed wear items preemptively or the van led a gentle commercial life. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core structural and mechanical components given the Vito's thirteen years and 151,404 miles. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or play, and measure brake disc thickness and caliper operation. Check the underbody and sills for corrosion, particularly around structural mounting points. The clean MOT record offers no flag for exhaust emissions, but a smoke test on the diesel unit remains prudent. Verify the anomalous July 2025 failure with DVSA records and confirm the V5C matches the mileage. The absence of advisories does not exempt the next owner from routine consumable renewal such as tyres, wiper blades, and fluid services. Overall, the evidence supports a structurally sound example, provided in-person checks confirm no hidden wear.
