2011 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · FP11 UJD

The Vito presents a current roadworthy status with a passed test on 2 October 2025 at 262,346 miles showing no defects, yet the maintenance record reveals an unstable administrative pattern rather than a clear mechanical trend. On that same date the vehicle first failed with no defects logged before the pass, repeating a quirk seen on 30 May 2024 at 260,107 miles where a failure with no recorded defects preceded a clean pass. The most recent evidence suggests the chassis and running gear carry no flagged faults, but the duplicated failure entries imply clerical or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than resolved engineering defects. Mileage stands at 262,346 against a 2011 build, an average of roughly 17,490 per year and firmly high for the age. The gap between the 16 May 2023 test at 253,741 miles and the 30 May 2024 test at 260,107 miles added only 6,366 miles in thirteen months, then 2,239 miles accrued by October 2025. Such low annual accumulation in the later life points to reduced commercial use, though the opening 253,741 at the 2023 record already confirms heavy earlier service as a delivery or passenger variant. The DVSA data flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across all three years of entries. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and drivetrain wear given the 262k mileage, focusing on subframe rust, driveshaft joints, and turbo oil consumption that a bare MOT will not expose. The repeated failure-then-pass on the same day at 260,107 and 262,346 miles suggests the seller or tester cleared a non-itemised issue or administrative hold. Verify the V5C and ask the testing centre for the failure reason, as the record alone gives no mechanical fault to act on but leaves provenance unconfirmed.
