Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise checking the drivetrain and suspension. The January 2025 MOT recorded failures for the prop shaft bearing housing and joint, as well as a fractured rear coil spring and worn anti-roll bar bushes; you should request invoices to confirm these components were replaced with quality parts.
Check the engine bay and underside for signs of the oil leak noted in the October 2023 MOT test. Given the age of this 2.1L diesel engine, verify the service history for timing chain or belt intervals and ensure the brake system has been fully overhauled following the 2025 brake disc failures.
As a 2.1L diesel, this Vito will offer moderate fuel economy but will fall into a higher tax bracket typical of 2008 emissions standards. Insurance costs will vary significantly depending on whether the vehicle is used for commercial purposes or as a private camper conversion.
Maintenance costs for older Mercedes commercial vehicles can be higher than budget alternatives due to the cost of genuine parts. Expect higher spending on wear-and-tear items given the recent history of suspension and drivetrain failures. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Conduct a thorough underbody inspection. Specifically, check the prop shaft and its bearings, as well as the front anti-roll bar bushes and rear coil springs, all of which were failure points in early 2025. Inspect the rear brake discs for pitting or scoring, as these were flagged as 'seriously weakened' in the 2025 records.
Look for active oil leaks around the engine and gearbox to determine if the 'not excessive' leak from 2023 has persisted or worsened. Finally, ensure the registration plates are clear and compliant to avoid the recurring minor failures seen in 2025 and 2026.
This white 2008 Mercedes Vito has recorded 132,212 miles. The MOT history is mixed, featuring a series of minor failures alongside a significant failure in January 2025 involving the prop shaft and suspension. A recorded oil leak in 2023 also suggests the need for a close mechanical inspection.
No aggregate MOT data is available for this specific model to provide a broader reliability trend.
