2016 Mercedes-Benz Vito 1.6L Diesel · AV66 ABO

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-07-11 MOT at 66,646 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024, 2022, and 2021 also passed, though a failed 2022-12-02 test at 49,634 miles noted no defects, which is unusual. This suggests either a procedural anomaly or a minor issue resolved before subsequent passes. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the record, indicating consistent maintenance. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging ~6,665 miles annually. A notable jump from 39,941 miles (2021-10-25) to 49,634 miles (2022-12-02) reflects a 9,693-mile increase in 14 months, followed by a slower accumulation to 56,479 miles by 2024-01-26. This pattern suggests variable usage but no extreme wear indicators. The absence of advisories or defects in most tests implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the 2022 failure warrants scrutiny. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of suspension components, particularly given the 2022 test’s unresolved failure, and check for brake system anomalies, as these are common wear points in older vans. Corrosion, especially in underbody areas, and the condition of exhaust emissions components should also be verified. While the MOT history shows no critical issues, the failed test and lack of detailed defect records necessitate a professional assessment to confirm structural integrity and identify any latent problems not flagged in the official records.
