2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · DA12 GLY

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy asset with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last several years. The most recent inspection conducted on 25 July 2025 at 121,162 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed or have resolved. This follows three consecutive years of clean passes, suggesting the current ownership is maintaining the vehicle to a functional standard. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,654 miles per year. Between the August 2021 test at 95,052 miles and the July 2025 test at 121,162 miles, the vehicle covered 26,110 miles, which represents regular usage rather than long periods of stationary neglect. The steady accumulation of roughly 13,000 miles over the last two years shows consistent operation, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and braking components associated with standing vehicles. A buyer should pay specific attention to the steering rack play noted during the August 2022 test at 101,221 miles. While this issue did not reappear in subsequent tests, a physical inspection of the steering linkage and rack boots is necessary to ensure the play was properly rectified than than masked. Given the age of the Vito, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion and the condition of suspension bushes is also advised, as the MOT record does not show advisories for rust or component wear in the most recent entries.
