2021 Mercedes-Benz Vito 1.9L Diesel · KM71 AEL

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following the most recent pass on 12 February 2026 at 105,626 miles. The inspection history shows a pattern of minor failures that were resolved within a short timeframe, specifically the failure on 4 February 2026 at 105,465 miles and a similar occurrence on 29 January 2024 at 72,914 miles. These failures, occurring just days before a successful test, suggest the vehicle undergoes reactive maintenance rather than proactive servicing, as the specific causes for these failures were not documented in the provided record. The mileage accumulation is high for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 21,125 miles per year. The jump from 72,954 miles in January 2024 to 89,816 miles in January 2025 indicates a consistent annual usage of roughly 17,000 miles, which has accelerated to over 15,000 miles in the most recent year. This high-mileage profile places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushes, and various chassis components. The consistent annual mileage suggests a vehicle used for regular commercial or long-distance transit rather than one that has sat idle. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering assemblies. Given the high mileage and the previous undocumented failures, the condition of the coil springs, shock absorbers, and control arm bushings is critical. You should also check for signs of uneven tyre wear or binding calipers, as the high usage increases the likelihood of wear on these consumables. The absence of structural corrosion or emissions advisories in the recent records is a positive indicator for the chassis integrity. However, because the failures in 2024 and 2026 were resolved so quickly, you must verify that the underlying mechanical issues were actually addressed rather than simply patched to pass the test. Focus specifically on the service history to ensure the high mileage has been met with appropriate oil changes and component replacements.
