2002 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.2L Diesel · BX02 WJL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 6 March 2026 at 130,507 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable and clean, as the record shows no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing. While the car failed its tests on 4 March 2026 and 30 January 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative failures or minor issues rectified immediately. The mileage is low for a 24 year old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,438 miles per year. The distance covered between 30 January 2024 and 31 January 2025 was 8,154 miles, while the subsequent period until March 2026 saw an increase of 8,088 miles. This consistency indicates the vehicle is in regular use rather than suffering from the degradation associated with long periods of standing. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must physically inspect the chassis and underbody for corrosion. Older Mercedes Vito models are prone to structural rust, particularly in the sills and load area, which does not always trigger an immediate failure if the integrity remains marginally acceptable. The absence of advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc wear is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage. A physical inspection should verify the condition of the braking system and rubber components. Check for perished tyres or leaking shock absorbers that may have been overlooked. Given the low annual mileage, ensure the engine oil and coolant have been changed according to time intervals rather than mileage to avoid internal sludge or cooling system failure.
