2017 Mercedes-Benz Vito 1.6L Diesel · DF67 EFK

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in May 2025 at 90,909 miles flagged several minor advisories regarding consumable wear and a parking brake adjustment. While the vehicle has passed without failures, the recurring presence of worn tyres and defective wipers across multiple years suggests that the previous owners only addressed issues once they reached a point of concern or failure during the annual inspection interval. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use commercial vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year over the nine-year period. There is a notable gap of 14,336 miles between November 2022 and November 2023, followed by a 6,085-mile stretch between June 2024 and May 2025. This steady accumulation suggests the van has been used regularly, which is generally better for engine seals and brake components than the corrosion issues often associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and parking brake mechanism. The 2021 test noted pitted front brake discs and the 2025 test highlighted long travel on the park brake lever, indicating that the rear drum shoes or cables may require adjustment or replacement. Additionally, the distorted offside front road wheel noted in 2023 should be checked for lateral run or uneven tyre wear. Given the history of tyres reaching the legal limit in both 2021 and 2025, a thorough depth check of all remaining rubber is essential to ensure no immediate expenditure is required.
