Our Verdict
Exercise caution with this vehicle. The
Prioritise investigating the 'Engine MIL' failure from August 2026. You must confirm exactly what was repaired to clear the malfunction light, as this can indicate anything from a simple sensor fault to serious engine issues. Request detailed invoices for this specific repair to ensure the fault was fixed rather than simply reset.
Negotiate the price based on the current advisories. The offside front service brake binding and the oil leak are ongoing issues that will require professional attention. Given the 2143cc diesel engine has covered over 227,000 miles, a comprehensive service history is vital to understand if major components have been replaced.
The 2.1L diesel engine is built for heavy-duty use, but fuel economy will vary based on load and driving style. As a 2013 model, it falls into a standard tax bracket for its age and engine size, though insurance groups for the Vito can be moderate.
Maintenance costs are expected to be higher than average due to the extreme mileage. Budget for frequent replacements of wear-and-tear items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushings. The estimated annual cost reflects the likelihood of more frequent mechanical interventions.
Perform a thorough check of the offside front brake to see if binding is still evident during a test drive. Inspect the engine bay and underside for the oil leak noted in the August 2026 MOT to determine its source and severity.
Verify that the Engine Management Light (MIL) remains off during a prolonged test drive. Additionally, check the rear direction indicators, as the February 2026 test noted discolouration on both the nearside and offside rear lights which may be progressing.
This 2013 black Mercedes-Benz Vito has recorded 227,350 miles. The MOT history shows a failure in August 2026 involving an engine malfunction light and brake issues, followed by a pass that retained advisories for oil leaks and brake binding. At this mileage, the vehicle's value is heavily dependent on the resolution of these mechanical concerns.
No aggregate MOT data is available to provide a general reliability benchmark for the Mercedes-Benz Vito.
