2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito 2.2L Diesel · NA12 ABZ

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz Vito passed its most recent MOT on 18 November 2023 at 271,453 miles with no defects recorded, indicating a currently stable roadworthiness status and a clean test trend across the last three annual examinations. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults in the supplied record, and the maintenance pattern appears consistent rather than worsening. Mileage stands at 271,453 against a November 2023 test, reflecting roughly 19,390 miles per year over its fourteen-year life and placing it well above average use for a light commercial vehicle of this age. The record jumps from 256,533 miles at the November 2021 pass to 262,452 at the November 2022 pass, then to 271,453 by November 2023, showing steady high annual accumulation with no standing periods. Two failed tests on 1 November 2021 and 8 November 2022 at 256,509 and 262,049 miles respectively list no defects, suggesting administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical rejection. Given the sparse and clean history, a buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on the chassis and sills, as high-mileage Vitos of this era commonly suffer hidden rust despite passing emissions and brake checks. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs warrant physical measurement for wear, since 271,000 miles will have loaded these components heavily even without MOT advisories. The absence of recorded faults implies previous owners kept the van to bare MOT standard rather than proactively servicing wear items. Verify service history independently and budget for drivetrain and suspension refresh given the mileage, as the test record alone confirms legal compliance, not component longevity.
