2007 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · FH57 DFK

The Mercedes-Benz Vito presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 26 November 2025 at 191,141 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the last three annual cycles, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged by testers. This indicates the vehicle has been presented in a condition acceptable for continued road use, though the sparse record limits deeper diagnostic insight. Annual mileage sits at roughly 10,060 miles against the 19-year lifespan, a typical figure for this age of light commercial vehicle. The records show 176,601 miles in December 2023, 183,613 miles in December 2024, and 191,141 miles in November 2025, equating to around 7,000 to 7,500 miles per year over the logged period. No excessive accumulation or standing gaps emerge from the data. The clean pass history across four of five tests suggests previous owners maintained basic statutory compliance, though two failed tests on 7 December 2023 and 24 November 2025 list no defects, implying administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical neglect. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the 191,141-mile loading on a 2007 chassis. The absence of recorded corrosion or structural integrity concerns is reassuring, but MOT testers do not strip components. Verify the exhaust emissions system and check for binding calipers during a road test. The repeated same-day fail-then-pass pattern on both 7 to 8 December 2023 and 24 to 26 November 2025 points to minor pre-test oversights rather than serious faults. Inspect tyre tread depth and wiper blades in person, as these consumables fall outside the recorded advisories yet degrade with use.
