2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · FH12 UTE

The Vito presents as roadworthy following its most recent DVSA test on 20 June 2025 at 154,166 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every pass and fail showing a clean sheet of advisories or faults. A curious entry appears on the same date as the 2025 pass: a failure at identical mileage with no defects logged, repeating a pattern seen on 19 May 2023 at 139,287 miles. This suggests administrative re-tests or data duplication rather than mechanical concern. Mileage progression sits at a typical annual rate for a 2012 van. The record shows 139,287 miles in May 2023, 147,406 in June 2024, and 154,166 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles per year across the logged period, below the lifetime average of 11,012 implied by the current reading. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps emerge from the supplied tests. The sparse, clean history offers little evidence of deferred consumable work. Given the absence of flagged items across all tests, the buyer should still verify in person the conditions the MOT did not capture. Inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for wear consistent with 154,000 miles of light commercial use. Check structural integrity underneath for corrosion around sills and chassis rails, as a clean MOT does not certify absence of developing rust. Confirm the duplicated 2023 and 2025 fail entries with DVSA to rule out outstanding compliance issues. The previous owners kept the vehicle to a passable standard with no recurring advisories, though the low recent mileage may mask aged rubber components and stale fluids needing renewal.
