2021 Mercedes-Benz Vito 114 Progressive CDI 1.8L Diesel · LP21 NXD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of deferred consumable replacement. While the most recent test on 16 July 2025 at 63,740 miles passed, it flagged specific issues regarding thin rear brake pads and worn, pitted brake discs. These findings suggest that while the vehicle remains legal for road, the braking system has reached the end of its functional life and requires immediate attention to maintain safety standards. The mileage profile reflects consistent high-intensity use, averaging approximately 12,750 miles annually over its five-year tenure. Between the July 2024 test at 46,044 miles and the July 2025 test, the vehicle covered 17,696 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation is typical for a commercial vehicle used for frequent transit, which places significant stress on the suspension components, drivetrain, and braking hardware compared to lower mileage examples. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system to ensure the rear discs and pads have been replaced since the July 2025 advisory. The recurring mention of a damaged windscreen across both 2024 and 2025 should be checked for new cracks that could eventually lead to a failure if they spread. Given the high mileage, a physical inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential, as these components often show premature wear on heavy-duty vans subjected to high annual mileage.
