2009 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.1L Diesel · KV59 OCL

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently rated as unfavourable , with the most recent MOT test on 2025-11-11 failing at 175,361 miles. This indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical condition compared to the 2024-11-18 record, where the car passed at 172,830 miles with no defects. The failure in November 2023 at 168,015 miles demonstrates that the engine and drivetrain are no longer operating within the safety standards established in the previous year, confirming that the mechanical system has not remained stable over time. The mileage accumulation is marked by a notable gap between the most recent test and the prior one, with the car failing on 2023-11-03 at 167,988 miles. This failure occurred after the previous successful test, suggesting that the vehicle experienced a sudden or rapid loss of performance rather than gradual wear. The high mileage of 175,361 miles, combined with the absence of any recorded defects in the last three tests, suggests that the owner may have maintained the vehicle with minimal attention to the critical components such as suspension, brakes, or drivetrain parts, potentially leading to accelerated failure. Given the recurring faults and the fact that the vehicle has failed twice on tyre tread and other components, a buyer should inspect the car for structural integrity and mechanical wear in person. The history indicates that the brakes and suspension are likely in poor condition, with potential for binding calipers or worn bushings. A thorough physical inspection is required to assess whether the structural integrity of the chassis and drivetrain has deteriorated, as the vehicle has failed on these critical systems multiple times without clear signs of simple consumable wear.
