2017 Mercedes-Benz Vito 1.6L Diesel · FJ67 UGW

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 2 June 2025 at 109,856 miles with no defects recorded. This clean result indicates that the van was in good mechanical order as of the last inspection. While the history shows intermittent failures, the lack of advisories in the latest two tests suggests that the owner has addressed identified issues effectively, maintaining the current operational standards. The mileage pattern reflects consistent heavy commercial use, averaging approximately 12,200 miles per year over its nine-year life. There is a significant period of high activity between September 2021 and October 2023, where the vehicle covered nearly 50,000 miles in just two years. This rapid accumulation typically places considerable stress on heavy-duty components, particularly the suspension system, drivetrain, and braking. The gap between the June 2025 test and the current date shows the vehicle has been on the road for nearly a year without its last certification of road roadworthiness. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering components, as the high mileage often accelerates wear on bushes, control arms, and coil springs. The failures in 2021 and 2023 suggest that the vehicle has required reactive maintenance to pass, so a thorough check of the brake calipers for binding or uneven disc wear is necessary. Given the age and usage of this Vito, inspecting the chassis for structural corrosion around the mounting points is vital to ensure the high-mileage use has not compromised the long-term integrity of the vehicle.
