2021 Mercedes-Benz Vito 110 Progressive CDI 1.8L Diesel · BV21 ABO

This Mercedes-Benz Vito has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the last three tests, most recently passing on 19 March 2026 at 30,594 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if not rigorous, maintenance over the past five years. The most recent test confirms the tester found no issues with critical systems—brakes, suspension, steering, emissions, or structural integrity—indicating the car remains roadworthy within current DVSA standards. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear; a thorough inspection of high-wear components is essential. The mileage progression shows a steady accumulation of approximately 6,119 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a vehicle of this age. The most notable gap between tests is between the 2024 and 2025 MOTs, where the vehicle accumulated 4,975 miles in just over a year—a rate that, while not excessive, suggests the car was in active use rather than stored. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern itself, but the lack of intermediate servicing records means potential maintenance lapses could have occurred between MOT tests. The current mileage of 30,594 miles is well below the average for a five-year-old diesel, which may imply either careful ownership or periods of reduced use. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common wear points on this model that often go unnoticed until failure. The brakes, though not flagged, warrant scrutiny—check for uneven pad wear, glazed discs, or binding calipers, as these can develop without immediate MOT failings. Exhaust emissions were not an issue in the last test, but a visual inspection for leaks or corrosion around the DPF or EGR system is advisable, especially given the diesel’s age. Finally, the underbody should be examined for corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as this is a critical structural risk that MOT tests do not always detect. The absence of advisories in the record does not guarantee these areas are sound.
