2016 Mercedes-Benz Vito 1.6L Diesel · AV66 ABU

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent test on 18 November 2025 at 121,502 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a five year trend of first-time passes without a single recorded failure or advisory, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is high for a ten year old vehicle, averaging roughly 12,150 miles per year. The accumulation has been steady and predictable, growing from 107,615 miles in November 2021 to 121,502 miles by November 2025. This consistent usage suggests the van has been used for regular commercial duties rather than short, erratic trips or long periods of standing, which generally benefits engine health and prevents seal degradation. Despite the clean MOT history, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of heavy-wear components. A buyer should check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these typically fatigue around the 120,000 mile mark regardless of test outcomes. The brake discs and pads should be measured for remaining thickness to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life. Attention should also be paid to the structural integrity of the chassis and sills. While the DVSA records show no corrosion issues up to November 2025, high-mileage commercial vehicles often hide surface rust in underbody areas that may not trigger an immediate MOT failure but could indicate future risk. Checking the service history for evidence of timing chain or belt replacements is advised given the current odometer reading.
