2009 Mercedes-Benz Vito 3.0L Diesel · KU59 AEK

This Mercedes-Benz Vito presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 7 November 2025 at 121,663 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to September 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and is currently in good mechanical order. The mileage is typical for a 17 year old commercial vehicle, averaging roughly 7,157 miles per year. Usage patterns appear consistent across the recorded history. The vehicle covered 10,225 miles between September 2022 and September 2023, and another 8,223 miles by October 2024. The most recent interval shows a slight increase in usage, adding 11,952 miles by November 2025. There are no erratic mileage jumps or suspicious gaps that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or undisclosed heavy use. The absence of any advisories over the last four years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and type. Most vans from this era typically show flags for suspension bush wear, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks. The record shows no recurring faults, suggesting the previous owner addressed wear and tear items before the official tests. A strange entry on 9 October 2024 shows a failure and a pass on the same day with no defects listed, which likely indicates a clerical error by the testing station rather than a mechanical failure. A physical inspection should focus on areas the MOT test may overlook or that develop rapidly. Check the structural integrity of the chassis and sills for corrosion, as surface rust often precedes the structural failures flagged in MOTs. Verify the condition of the timing chain and service history for oil changes, as the clean MOT record confirms roadworthiness but does not guarantee the internal health of the engine. Inspect the tyre depths and brake pad thickness to ensure they have not reached their limit since the November 2025 test.
