2009 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · CE09 EEP

The MOT record shows a stable, clean maintenance trend. Every recorded test passed with no defects or advisories, including the most recent one in December 2023 at 295,920 miles. The single failure in August 2022 was cleared on the same day with no listed defects, which typically indicates an administrative issue or a minor retest condition rather than a mechanical problem. On paper, the vehicle presents as roadworthy with no long-standing issues carried through the history. The mileage pattern reflects heavy but consistent use. Between August 2021 and August 2022, the van covered roughly 23,800 miles in twelve months; between that test and December 2023, it added a further 15,700 miles over fifteen months. That equates to around 17,400 miles per year across seventeen years, which is high for the vehicle's age. The intervals are regular, with no suspicious gaps or a sudden spike in readings, so the odometer history appears plausible for a working van. What this record does not show is condition at the time of a current inspection. The MOT expired in December 2024, so any buyer must treat the van as untested for the past eighteen months. Given the age and mileage, examine the suspension bushes and linkages for wear, inspect the brake discs and callipers for binding or scoring, and check for structural corrosion on the chassis legs, sills, and load floor. A high-mileage commercial vehicle of this type will likely need consumable replacements soon, even though the DVSA history is clean. A fresh pre-purchase inspection, or ideally an up-to-date MOT, is essential before committing.
