2013 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · FP13 PWZ

The Vito presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 16 October 2025 at 155,301 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the three years of records supplied. The October 2025 pass came one day after a failed attempt at the same mileage, though the tester logged no defects on either the failure or the pass, indicating the initial rejection was likely administrative rather than mechanical. No advisories or defects appear anywhere in the 2023 to 2025 history. Annual mileage sits at roughly 11,946 per year against the 13-year-old van's 155,301 total, which is typical for a Vito of this age and points to steady commercial use rather than long idle periods. The records show clean passes in October 2023 at 142,591 miles, October 2024 at 150,653 miles, and October 2025 at 155,301 miles, with only 4,710 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests. The back-to-back fail and pass on identical dates and mileages in both 2024 and 2025 suggest the previous operator used the test lane to rectify paperwork or minor presentational issues without recorded mechanical intervention. Given the absence of any flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion entries, the DVSA data alone shows no escalating wear pattern or structural concern. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the underside for structural rust and check the front suspension arms and rear brake calipers, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Vitos that a no-defect MOT does not preclude. The clean record implies reasonable basic upkeep, but the twin same-day fail/pass cycles show the keeper treated the test as a formality rather than a maintenance checkpoint.
