2021 Mercedes-Benz Vito 114 Progressive CDI 1.8L Diesel · BC21 AFK

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 22 April 2026 with no defects recorded, indicating that it is currently in a roadworthy condition. Looking at the broader history, the maintenance trend appears stable. While there was a failure in April 2025, this was limited to a non-functional offside rear stop lamp, which is a minor electrical fault. The absence of any advisories in the latest test suggests that previous concerns have been rectified or are not currently impacting the vehicle's safety. With a recorded mileage of 65,010 miles over approximately five years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 13,000 miles per annum. This represents a relatively high usage rate for this age, which typically implies a higher rate of wear on primary consumables and drivetrain components. Prospective buyers should anticipate that wear-and-tear items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushings will have reached a significant portion of their service life, necessitating a closer inspection of these components compared to a lower-mileage equivalent. Particular attention should be paid to the tyres and bodywork. The 2025 records noted perishing and cracking on the rear outer tyres; although the most recent test was clean, you should physically inspect the sidewalls for fine cracks or rubber degradation, as this can compromise structural integrity at motorway speeds. Additionally, the reported deformation of the offside front sill should be examined to ensure there is no underlying structural damage or trapped moisture that could lead to accelerated corrosion in the chassis rails or lower body panels. During a test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or knocks, particularly when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn coil springs or bushings consistent with this mileage. Check for any brake shudder or pulling under heavy braking, which would suggest warped discs or binding calipers. Finally, given the high annual mileage, it is imperative to verify the service history to ensure that oil changes and filter replacements have been carried out at the correct intervals to maintain the health of the CDI engine and its associated emissions systems.
