2011 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · AF61 WMW

The 2011 Mercedes-Benz Vito presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no active defects. The most recent test on 26 November 2024 at 169,426 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, and the preceding 2023 and 2022 tests also passed without recorded faults. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical condition across the five-year DVSA history supplied. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a fifteen-year-old van. The record runs from 152,960 miles on 26 November 2021 to 169,426 miles on 26 November 2024, an accumulation of 16,466 miles over three years or roughly 5,500 miles per year in the logged period, well below the 11,295-mile average implied by total age. The only anomaly is the 16 November 2023 failure at 164,867 miles followed by a pass the next day at 164,913 miles; the tester logged no defects on either entry, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Given the clean MOT trail, the previous keeper clearly kept basic statutory testing in order with no flagged corrosion, suspension wear, or brake defects. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as a Vito of this age and mileage is prone to hidden chassis rust and tired suspension bushes not always caught in a visual test. Verify service history for drivetrain and turbo diesel intervals independently. The absence of advisories does not confirm consumable life. Check brake discs, coil springs, and exhaust emissions in person before purchase.
