2022 Mercedes-Benz Vito 110CDI Tourer PRO 1.8L Diesel · KS22 DXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from a clean record to reactive repairs. The most recent test in June 2025 at 84,543 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a damaged nearside rear outer tyre. This follows a failure in June 2024 where the vehicle was rejected for tyre damage and a smooth brake pedal. While the vehicle has resolved these specific issues, the appearance of faults suggests an inconsistent approach to preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern indicates high usage for a four-year-old van, averaging over 21,000 miles per annum. Between the June 2023 test at 23,695 miles and the June 2024 test at 53,685 miles, the vehicle covered 30,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation is consistent with commercial or heavy motorway use, which places significant stress on the drivetrain, suspension bushings, and braking components. The 30,858 miles driven between the last two tests confirms this heavy operational schedule. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the brake system and suspension assembly. The 2024 failure for a smooth brake pedal indicates the master cylinder or booster may be reaching the end of its effective life, or that fluid has been neglected. Given the high mileage and recurring tyre issues, checking for uneven wear on the control arm bushes, shock absorbers, and ball joints is non-negotiable. The history of tyre cuts also suggests the previous owner only addressed components when they failed inspection, necessitating a physical check of the current tread depth and sidewall integrity across all four wheels.
