2002 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.2L Diesel · DA02 WFO

The 2002 Mercedes-Benz Vito presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed the most recent MOT test on 2 April 2025 at 132,212 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual test from April 2023 through April 2025 returning a clean result or a no-defect failure followed by immediate clearance. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in the record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening wear or recurring structural concerns over the observed three-year span. The recorded mileage of 132,212 at the April 2025 test equates to roughly 5,509 miles per year across the vehicle's 24-year life, which is low for a 2002 panel van. Annual accumulation has been gentle: 125,305 miles in April 2023, 129,186 in April 2024, and 132,212 in April 2025, a total of just under 7,000 miles over two years. The sparse record shows two same-day fail-pass pairs on 3 April 2023 and 1 April 2025, both with no defects logged, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical rejection. Low use and clean sheets imply light duty, though prolonged standing between short trips can age rubber bushes and brake calipers without triggering advisories. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension arms, coil springs, and subframe mounts, as the MOT data offers no visibility of corrosion or worn bushes that low-mileage vans often conceal. Brake discs and calipers warrant physical measurement given the vehicle's age and likely static periods. Verify the 2002 Vito's structural integrity beneath sills and wheel arches for rust, since the test history never flagged such defects and a 24-year-old Mercedes is susceptible to hidden chassis degradation despite passing papers.
