2018 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · KS18 AEN

The Mercedes-Benz Vito presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent MOT test on 20 May 2025 at 77,313 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects or advisories. Prior annual examinations from May 2023 through May 2024 similarly returned passes with clean sheets. The maintenance trend is therefore stable, showing no worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories across the recorded history. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for an eight-year-old van. The record shows 57,940 miles at the 4 May 2023 test, rising to 68,047 miles by 7 May 2024, and reaching 77,313 miles at the May 2025 test. That equates to roughly 9,600 to 10,100 miles per annum, a modest figure suggesting gentle commercial or private duty. A notable anomaly appears on 2 May 2024, when a failure was logged at 68,016 miles with no defects stated, immediately followed by a pass at the same mileage later that day; the subsequent 7 May test showed 68,047 miles, confirming minimal movement. Such a pattern implies either a procedural clerical reversal or swift correction of a non-mechanical item, and reflects attentive ownership rather than neglected upkeep. Given the absence of flagged faults, the previous keeper appears to have maintained the vehicle to at least minimum statutory standards. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and common wear points. The Vito's age invites scrutiny of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for fatigue not always captured in a pass result. Underbody corrosion and exhaust emissions system condition warrant visual checks given eight years of service.
