2013 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · CK63 NKL

The Vito holds a valid MOT certificate following a pass on 19 March 2026 at 152,822 miles. The maintenance trend remains stable overall, though the recent testing pattern warrants attention. The tester recorded zero defects on the most recent pass. Conversely, the preceding test on 18 March 2026 failed at the identical mileage with no recorded defects. This points to a minor rectification completed within 24 hours or an administrative anomaly during the initial examination. The vehicle averages roughly 11,756 miles annually, aligning closely with typical usage for a 13-year-old commercial van. Between the July 2023 test at 145,835 miles and the July 2024 test at 152,628 miles, the Vito covered approximately 6,793 miles over twelve months. The mileage then plateaued, showing only a 194-mile increase between July 2024 and March 2026. A slight mileage discrepancy exists in the 2024 records, where the failed test on 22 July recorded 152,628 miles, yet the subsequent pass on 29 July showed 152,608 miles. This minor rollback likely stems from rolling road testing or a data entry variation rather than genuine mileage reduction. The absence of recorded defects or advisories provides a positive baseline, yet a physical inspection remains essential. A buyer should scrutinize the structural integrity of the chassis and load area, checking for corrosion or panel damage typical of a working van. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, require close examination for wear, as these degrade naturally over 152,000 miles. Brake discs and calipers should be measured for wear, alongside a thorough check of the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion. Tyre condition and age warrant verification, as consumable wear often escapes detailed MOT notation. The immediate pass-fail-pass sequence in March 2026 demands clarification from the seller regarding the nature of the initial failure.
