2021 Mercedes-Benz Vito 110 Progressive CDI 1.8L Diesel · AC18 CON

The vehicle presents a stable mechanical condition based on its most recent assessment. During the June 2025 test at 79,131 miles, the Vito passed with zero defects recorded, indicating it currently meets all required roadworthiness standards. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a failed test on 13 June 2025 at the identical mileage, immediately followed by a clean pass the next day. This suggests an initial rejection was swiftly rectified, likely addressing a minor issue not formally documented in the final failure report, before achieving a clean bill of health. The mileage accumulation is notably aggressive for a commercial van of this age. Between the June 2024 test at 50,666 miles and the June 2025 test at 79,131 miles, the vehicle covered 28,465 miles in a single year. This equates to an average of roughly 15,826 miles annually over its five-year lifespan, which is significantly higher than the national average and points to sustained, intensive daily use. Such high utilisation accelerates the wear rate on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and braking systems, meaning the current clean MOT reflects a vehicle that is holding up well under considerable operational stress. Given the intense mileage accumulation, a prospective buyer must inspect the structural integrity and mechanical wear items closely. High-mileage commercial vans often suffer from corrosion on load-bearing panels, subframes, and suspension mounting points, so a thorough underside inspection is essential. Check the condition of the brake discs and pads for excessive grooving, and assess the rear calipers for any signs of binding, a common issue on heavily used vans. Suspension components, particularly the coil springs and trailing arm bushes, should be examined for cracking or deterioration. While the MOT record is clean, the sheer volume of miles covered in the last twelve months demands a rigorous physical evaluation to ensure the vehicle's long-term durability has not been compromised.
