2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · AF04 MTB

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 174,280 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across the available history. Annual mileage averaged roughly 12,449 miles against the vehicle's 14-year age, placing it on the high side for a light commercial van of this period. The records show consistent yearly testing from 2 October 2021 at 132,745 miles through to the 2025 test, with increments of around 10,000 to 11,000 miles per year and no gaps exceeding twelve months. The DVSA data carries no advisories or flagged faults at any stage, so the sparse clean record gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or structural neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage, as high annual use accelerates wear these tests did not flag. Examine the underbody and sills for corrosion, and verify the exhaust emissions system and drivetrain condition, since the MOT history offers no insight beyond pass outcomes. The absence of recorded advisories across five tests suggests previous owners kept basic upkeep current, though a 174,280-mile van warrants scrutiny of clutch and turbo condition that MOT checks do not cover. Treat the clean record as a baseline rather than assurance of component life remaining.
