2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · FM12 GPK

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 25 November 2024 at 160,080 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior annual tests on 9 November 2023 at 154,646 miles, 23 November 2022 at 148,459 miles, and 26 November 2021 at 137,617 miles all passed with zero advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical issues, or structural concerns across the four-year DVSA record. Annual mileage averages 11,434 across the 14-year lifespan, matching typical use for a light commercial van. The recorded history spans only the last four tests, yet the gaps between entries stay consistent at roughly 5,000 to 11,000 miles per year with no sudden accumulation or dormant periods. Clean passes at every interval suggest the previous keeper kept basic servicing current and addressed wear before each examination. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs in person given the 160,080-mile count and the age of rubber and metal components. The MOT record flags no corrosion or exhaust emission failures, but standing moisture and undertray grime on a 2012 chassis can hide structural rust the tester did not list. Verify the service book and check for binding calipers or worn tyres that a no-defect pass might miss on a high-mileage Vito.
