2018 Mercedes-Benz Vito 1.6L Diesel · KS18 AEO

This Mercedes-Benz Vito presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passes. The most recent test on 2 July 2025 at 82,028 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates dating back to June 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids common MOT failures. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. Between the June 2023 test at 59,534 miles and the July 2024 test at 73,111 miles, the vehicle covered 13,577 miles. Usage slowed slightly in the following year, adding 8,917 miles by July 2025. These figures indicate regular use without excessive idling or prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps preserve engine seals and braking systems. The absence of any recorded advisories across three years of testing is unusual for a vehicle approaching 82,000 miles. While the DVSA record is clean, a buyer should still manually inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, as these often wear without triggering an immediate failure. Checking the brake discs for lip wear and the tyres for uneven tread patterns will confirm if the previous owner performed preventative maintenance outside of the MOT cycle. Given the lack of flagged corrosion or structural issues in the history, the primary focus should be on service intervals. The MOT record proves the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, but it does not confirm oil changes or filter replacements. Verifying the service book against the mileage jumps between 2023 and 2025 is the final necessary step to ensure the drivetrain has been properly lubricated.
