2014 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · DA63 GLK

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz Vito presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 16 January 2026 at 73,160 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across recent tests. The prior day's failure on 15 January 2026 at 73,150 miles recorded no defects, indicating a likely administrative or documentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or defects appear across the available history, suggesting the vehicle has not required flagged repairs in the recorded period. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,100 miles per year against the 12-year age, a typical use profile for this van. The records show 64,786 miles in January 2024, 68,637 miles in January 2025, and 73,160 miles by January 2026, equating to around 4,000 to 4,500 miles added each year. A gap exists between the December 2022 test at 61,646 miles and the January 2024 test, with no intermediate entry, but the low annual accumulation implies light duty rather than neglected use. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of deferred consumable replacement. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the lack of recorded advisories that might otherwise reveal wear. The absence of corrosion or structural integrity notes in the MOT data does not rule out early rust on sills or chassis legs hidden from the test bay. Verify the January 2026 failure cause in person, as the no-defect entry paired with a next-day pass warrants confirmation that no binding calipers or exhaust emissions fault were quietly resolved.
