2016 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · EY16 ACV

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-17 at 100,878 miles recorded a PASS, yet an identical date shows a FAILED entry with no defects noted. This inconsistency suggests a potential data error, though the absence of recorded faults in prior tests indicates no immediate mechanical urgency. The maintenance trend remains stable, with no recurring issues or escalating defects over the past three years. The 2024 and 2023 tests at 88,257 and 73,801 miles, respectively, both passed without defects, confirming consistent compliance. The vehicle’s mileage of 100,878 miles over 10 years aligns with average annual usage, averaging ~10,088 miles per year. A notable gap exists between the 2023-09-22 test (73,801 miles) and the 2024-10-18 test (88,257 miles), reflecting a 14,456-mile increase over 13 months, which is within normal parameters. The 2025-10-17 test, however, marks 12 months without a subsequent MOT, raising questions about the vehicle’s ongoing compliance. The MOT history lacks significant wear indicators, suggesting the previous owner maintained the vehicle to standard. A buyer should verify the vehicle’s current MOT status and inspect for signs of unrecorded issues, particularly in the suspension and braking systems. While no defects were noted, the 2023-09-21 FAILED test at 73,799 miles—despite no recorded faults—warrants scrutiny. Pay close attention to body corrosion, as the 2016 model’s age increases rust risk, and check for uneven tyre wear, which could signal alignment or suspension problems. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on these areas to confirm the MOT records accurately reflect the vehicle’s condition.
