2022 Mercedes-Benz Vito 1.9L Diesel · BU22 WGV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass in March 2026 at 55,600 miles. The maintenance trend shows a shift from immediate safety failures related to tyres to standard component wear. While the latest test identified worn front brake discs, the condition did not meet the failure threshold, suggesting the vehicle is entering a phase requiring routine preventative maintenance rather than the reactive repairs seen in previous years. The mileage profile indicates consistent high-usage, averaging approximately 14,000 miles per annum, which is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. The vehicle covered 13,156 miles between April 2024 and March 2025, followed by another 14,381 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This steady accumulation suggests the van is used regularly for long distances, which generally prevents the internal engine issues associated with long standing periods, but it places significant cycle-related stress on the suspension, bushings, and drivetrain components. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front braking system, as the March 2026 record confirms the discs are nearing the end of their effective life. The recurring failures in 2024 and 2025 regarding exposed cords on the nearside front tyre indicate a previous history of neglect regarding tyre condition or potential alignment issues that caused uneven wear. Physical attention should also be paid to the front suspension control arms and shock absorbers, as the high annual mileage rate often accelerates the degradation of rubber components in the Mercedes Vito chassis.
