2009 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · CA59 HTX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 18 November 2025 at 125,213 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following consecutive clean passes in 2024 and 2023. While a failure occurred on 09 November 2023, the issue was rectified immediately to secure a pass eight days later, suggesting the owner is responsive to MOT safety requirements once faults are identified. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 17-year-old van, averaging approximately 7,365 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the vehicle covered 14,347 miles, maintaining a steady interval of roughly 4,800 miles annually. This regular usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not suffered long periods of neglect or heavy commercial strain, which generally benefits the mechanical components and seals by preventing premature drying out or component seizing. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the latest three tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and mounting points. Mercedes Vitos of this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and floor pans, which may not always trigger an MOT failure until rust becomes significant. The buyer should also inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber, as these are common points of wear on older vans regardless of low mileage. The clean history indicates a well-maintained vehicle, but a manual check of the undercarriage and brake lines remains necessary to ensure no hidden corrosion is present.
