2015 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · DE07 RUE

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz Vito presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 133,678 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior successful tests also closed clean. The only blemish is a failure on 8 January 2024 at 100,557 miles that was immediately retested and passed two days later with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or transient issue rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage sits high for an eleven-year-old van at 133,678 recorded miles, averaging roughly 12,153 miles per year. The jump from 74,906 miles at the January 2023 test to 100,557 miles in January 2024 shows about 25,600 miles added in twelve months, then 20,000 miles by January 2025 and a further 13,500 by January 2026 as annual use eased. The sparse record of five entries across three years gives limited visibility, but the absence of advisories on tyres, brakes, or corrosion across all passes suggests the previous keeper kept consumables within limits. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the mileage and light commercial duty cycle. The clean MOT sheet means no structural rust, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions faults were flagged, yet a Vito at this age and distance often hides worn trailing arm mounts or degraded damping not caught in a pass-with-no-defects test. Verify the two January 2024 entries with the selling garage to confirm the failure cause was not a suppressed defect. Otherwise the documented history implies disciplined upkeep, and the van reads as mechanically sound for its age pending a hands-on check of drivetrain and underbody condition.
