2016 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · EY16 AEA

The vehicle displays a stable and clean roadworthiness record, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 October 2025 at 62,428 miles without any recorded defects. While the vehicle failed its initial inspections in both 2023 and 2025, these were rectified within a matter of days, suggesting that the owner addressed minor administrative or immediate mechanical concerns promptly to secure a pass. The absence of recurring advisories for structural corrosion or suspension wear indicates that the vehicle has been subjected to consistent maintenance rather than neglect. The recorded mileage of 62,428 miles over a ten-year lifespan averages approximately 6,243 miles per annum, which is well within the expected range for a commercial vehicle of this class. The steady accumulation of roughly 6,000 to 7,000 miles between annual tests since 2023 indicates regular, light-duty usage. There are no significant gaps in the history that would suggest prolonged periods of inactivity, which often lead to seized calipers, perished rubber components, or fuel system degradation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common wear items that often escape the scope of a basic MOT test. Given the Vito platform, pay close attention to the condition of the suspension bushes and the integrity of the rear coil springs, as these components frequently degrade under load. Inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting or uneven wear, as the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to surface corrosion if the vehicle is left standing in damp conditions. Confirm that the emissions control systems operate correctly during a cold start, as the current clean MOT record provides a solid baseline but does not account for the long-term health of the diesel particulate filter or fuel injectors.
