2018 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · KU68 AFZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent passing record. The most recent test on 14 November 2025 at 62,568 miles resulted in a minor failure regarding the registration plate lamp. This follows a clean result from November 2024 at 54,576 miles, indicating that the primary mechanical and safety components have met DVSA standards without significant defects over the last two inspection cycles. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eight-year-old van, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. There is a notable jump in mileage between the October 2021 test at 59,310 miles and the November 2022 test at 41,693 miles, which suggests a potential recording error or a clock reversal during that period. Since 2022, the vehicle has accumulated at a steady rate of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles per year, which typically implies moderate wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the glass, as windscreen damage was noted in both the 2022 and 2023 tests. While these did not cause a failure, the recurring nature of chips or cracks suggests a lack of proactive glass maintenance. The defective offside front wiper noted in 2022 is a minor consumable issue, but the lack of any advisories for brake corrosion or suspension wear in the record warrants a manual check of the chassis and underside components to ensure no structural rust has developed undetected between tests.
